We are excited to announce a new ground-breaking treatment option for our extensive mental health care services offered here at Vital Psych MD – Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
For those that have failed traditional medications and psychotherapies, this is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) that has shown considerable promise.
It stands for Transcranial magnetic stimulation. This refers to a non-invasive procedure involving the use of magnetic pulses to stimulate some nerve cells found in specific regions of the brain. These targeted pulses act on mood regulation thereby enhancing communication between areas of the brain.
A coil is placed on your forehead near your skull by a technician during a session of TMS. The coil briefly sends out magnetic pulses to the specific brain area being targeted. These stimuli easily go through the skull causing nerve cell activity.
The exact mechanisms by which TMS works are not completely understood, but studies indicate it may:
Treatments such as TMS are therefore promising for adults with MDD who do not respond fully to one or more medication trials accompanied with psychotherapy. It’s believed to be safe and well-tolerated, having minimum side effects.
Here are some things that might make you eligible for TMS:
Most patients will have a series of sessions, typically daily for four to six weeks unless otherwise advised. Each session takes around 20-40 minutes.
At Vital Psych MD, we offer cutting-edge evidence-based treatments for mental health issues. We have skilled staff who will help you determine if TMS could be the right option for you or not?
