TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation and compulsive behaviors. It is FDA-cleared for treating depression and OCD, especially for patients who haven’t found success with medication.
During each TMS session, a specialized helmet delivers gentle electromagnetic pulses to targeted brain regions. These pulses help regulate brain activity, offering relief from symptoms of depression and OCD. Treatment sessions are quick and painless, typically lasting around 20-30 minutes.
TMS therapy is ideal for patients with depression or OCD who haven’t responded well to medication or have experienced significant side effects from traditional treatments. Your psychiatrist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is right for you.
TMS therapy is well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. The most common side effects are mild headaches or discomfort at the treatment site, which generally subside after a few sessions. Unlike medication, TMS has no systemic side effects such as weight gain or memory issues.
TMS therapy uses gentle electromagnetic pulses to target specific areas of the brain, without the need for anesthesia or hospitalization. The procedure is painless and allows you to resume normal activities right after each session.
