TMS is a revolutionary and safe FDA-cleared non-invasive treatment for chronic depression. During depression, the brain is not operating at full capacity in the areas responsible for emotion and emotional regulation. The emotional control center of the brain is less active or even inactive. Signals along the neural pathways to and from the brain that would normally regulate mood and emotions do not work properly when a person is clinically depressed.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy works by sending short, magnetic pulses to target the exact areas of the brain affected by depression, stimulating and activating these neural pathways so that the inactive signals begin firing and working again, restoring emotional control.
TMS is non-invasive and well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. The person receiving TMS is awake during the treatment and can return to normal activities immediately after, because no medication or anesthesia is required.
Treatment time can range from five minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the type of therapy. A typical course of treatment is approximately six weeks of TMS therapy as an alternative treatment option for patients who do not respond well to medication or are unable to tolerate it.
