What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS targets specific areas of the brain identified as underactive through neuroimaging. Using focused magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates nerve cells in these regions, helping to restore brain function and alleviate symptoms of depression.
How Does TMS Work?
During a typical TMS session, you will be comfortably seated, and a specialized device will be positioned near your head. This device generates brief magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and induce small electrical currents in targeted areas of your brain. These currents temporarily alter the activity levels of neurons, promoting healthier brain function. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with no sedation required, and most patients report minimal discomfort, often describing the sensation as a tapping or tapping-like feeling on the scalp.
