Depression affects millions worldwide, and for many, traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy may not provide sufficient relief. At Prodigy Psychiatric Group, we offer an innovative solution: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy has shown promising results for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression.

What Is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an advanced technique used in the treatment of depression through targeted brain stimulation, commonly known as TMS for depression. It utilizes magnetic fields, similar in strength to an MRI, to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. By targeting these regions, TMS can enhance neural activity, leading to improved mood and reduced depressive symptoms.

Unlike medications that affect the entire body, tms for depression focuses directly on the brain areas responsible for depressive symptoms, minimizing systemic side effects. Most patients remain awake and alert during sessions, which are conducted in our outpatient clinic at Prodigy Psychiatric Group, allowing them to resume daily activities immediately afterward.

Is TMS Right for You?

Consider TMS therapy if:

·         You've tried multiple antidepressant medications without adequate relief.

·         You're experiencing intolerable side effects from medications.

·         Depression is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or work.

·         You're seeking a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option.
