NeuroStar Advanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a mental health treatment for adults with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anxious depression who struggle with finding relief from medication or therapy. TMS therapy is a great option if you are looking for a reliable, medication-free, and non-surgical mental health treatment solution.
This FDA-cleared treatment works on a neurobiological level to help treat depression and other mental health issues without medication, surgery, or scars. Read on to learn more about the science behind TMS therapy and depression.
Scientifically, TMS works to treat depressive symptoms by using electromagnetic pulses that stimulate specific areas of your brain, including the prefrontal cortex, which controls your mood, behavior, and emotions. These areas are often underactive in people with depression and other mental health conditions.
TMS therapy is performed through a customized treatment program expertly managed by Dr. Justin Beatty and our team of TMS technicians. Your program will consist of a number of treatment sessions, during which we will use TMS to stimulate your brain, helping it form new connections—a process known as neuroplasticity.
In people with depression, certain brain areas have abnormal activity, causing mental health symptoms. NeuroStar TMS stimulates these areas to improve your brain function, reduce your depression symptoms, and improve your mood. As your treatment continues, your brain learns to regulate itself, leading to sustainable improvements in mental health.
