So, what exactly is TMS Therapy? 🤔
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, non-drug treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.¹˒²
Unlike traditional antidepressants, TMS does not require medication to travel throughout the body. Treatment is performed in an office setting, without anesthesia, and patients remain awake and alert during each session.
For adults with depression who haven't found adequate relief from antidepressant medication, NeuroStar® TMS Therapy may be another option to discuss with a qualified provider.
At H3O Wellness Interventional Psychiatry, we believe understanding how a treatment works is an important part of deciding whether it's right for you. If you have questions about TMS Therapy, we're here to help.
