TMS (Transcranial magnetic stimulation)

Introduction

In the journey toward mental wellness, finding the right treatment can often feel like navigating a labyrinth with no clear guide. Traditional therapies and medications provide relief for many, but what happens when they don’t bring the desired results? This is where Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) emerges as a beacon of hope. At Greater Heights Holistic Psychiatry, we’re dedicated to pioneering advancements in mental health treatments, offering TMS as a cutting-edge solution for those seeking another path to wellness.


What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It’s specifically designed to target areas involved in mood control, making it an effective treatment for depression and other mental health disorders when traditional methods have been unsuccessful. Unlike medication, TMS does not have systemic side effects, making it a promising option for many.

How Does TMS Work?

TMS therapy involves placing an electromagnetic coil against the scalp near the forehead. The device then emits a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of the brain responsible for mood regulation and depression. These magnetic pulses are thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression.

The treatment is typically administered 4-5 times a week for 4-6 weeks, but this can vary based on individual needs and response to therapy. One of the most compelling aspects of TMS is its non-invasive nature, allowing patients to remain awake and alert during the procedure, with no recovery time required.

Benefits of TMS

The benefits of TMS are wide-ranging and significant. Patients often report improvements in mood, energy, and overall well-being. The most notable benefits include:

  • Effective in Treating Resistant Depression: For those who have not benefited from traditional treatments, TMS offers a viable and effective alternative.
  • Non-Invasive and Non-Systemic: Unlike surgery or medication, TMS does not involve anesthesia or systemic side effects, making it a safer option for many.
  • Minimal Side Effects: The most common side effect is temporary discomfort at the treatment site during the procedure.
