These clinics specialize in treating depression, especially for patients who haven’t found success with traditional antidepressant medications alone.
Living with depression is hard, but Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) can be especially painful when one treatment after another doesn’t help. You lose hope. Will you ever feel better?
Finding the right treatment can take time but TMS may be the treatment that will make you feel like yourself again.
Magstim® is the brains behind TMS and our equipment is used in clinical studies worldwide. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a series of repetitive, brief and highly focused magnetic pulses, designed to stimulate brain cells.
Magstim TMS is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option with minimal side effects. It requires no anesthesia and is conveniently administered as an outpatient procedure.
In depressed patients, the electrical activity in certain areas of the brain is shown to be reduced.Using TMS targeted at these areas, we aim to re-awaken these cells, increasing brain activity to normal levels.
TMS uses a focused electromagnet to rapidly pulse a magnetic field to the targeted area. The magnetic pulses induce an electrical current in the brain, stimulating the cells into activity.
Approximately 58% of patients with treatment resistant MDD respond positively to TMS therapy.
For patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), remission rates are between 30% to 40%.
Some patients may notice subtle improvements in how they feel as early as the second week of Magstim treatment. However, the majority experience significant benefits between the 4-6 weeks of Magstim TMS therapy.
TMS is typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home immediately after treatment sessions. This convenience reduces disruptions to daily life and eliminates the need for hospitalization, making it easier to fit treatment into a busy schedule.
TMS precisely targets areas of the neural tissue associated with depression and other mental health conditions. This focused approach allows for more effective treatment by stimulating specific regions of the brain, minimizing impact on surrounding areas.
Many patients experience improvement in symptoms within a few days of starting MagstimTMS therapy. Unlike some medications that may take weeks to become effective, TMS offers faster relief, helping patients feel better sooner.
Studies suggest that the benefits of Magstim TMS therapy can extend beyond the treatment period, providing lasting relief from symptoms. Many patients continue to experience positive effects long after completing their sessions, reducing the need for ongoing medication.
TMS worked! I can’t say TMS treatment “gave me my life back,” because the life I have now is one I’ve never known—full of joy, light, energy, and promise. I’m excelling at my job, and my family life is peaceful because I’m present and no longer a burden. Instead of waking up wondering how I’ll get through the day, I wake up eager to get going. Without the weight of worry and exhaustion, I can get things done! In 6 weeks, I went from a suicidal, nearly bed-ridden person to a happy, energetic, and hopeful woman. I will be forever grateful to TMS for saving my life. I AM SO VERY HAPPY!
TMS therapy has given me a new lease on life, and I thank God every single day that He led me to this treatment. It has now been 3 months [at the time of writing] I have been in remission, and I am still as happy as the day I finished my treatments. My family has seen the difference, and I have so much fun with them, something I never thought I would do. It was a great experience, and I stand behind TMS Therapy 1000%.
After three weeks of TMS, I became more involved in my family’s life and noticed the absence of negative voices in my head. Now, I can honestly say I feel true contentment. My mind is clearer, and my burdens feel lighter. I’ve also successfully tapered my antidepressants to less than a fourth of my original dose. TMS Therapy has given me new hope! I encourage anyone with untreated depression to try this protocol for relief or even remission.
