TMS THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION

TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and is a well-tolerated and proven method to treat Depression, even in patients who have not responded to other forms of therapy. In TMS therapy, a special magnetic coil is carefully placed over a specific site of the head usually towards the front. The coil emits a light stimulation aimed at specific areas within the brain which feels like a tapping sensation. The stimulation helps to reconnect the neural pathways involved in depression. A typical course of TMS would be a total of 36 x 19-minute sessions over several weeks. Although treatment requires regular visits, this is just a commitment for a short period of time and long-lasting effects are usually noticed after the course of treatment. Patients can resume normal activities following their treatment sessions.
