TMS therapy involves the use of a magnetic coil placed near the scalp to deliver repetitive magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain. These pulses stimulate nerve cells in the brain regions associated with mood regulation. The exact mechanisms of how TMS works are not fully understood, but it is thought to help reset neural circuitry and alleviate symptoms of depression and other mood disorders.
TMS therapy is typically recommended for individuals who have not responded to or have had limited success with antidepressant medications. Candidates for TMS often have treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or other mood disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or bipolar disorder. A healthcare provider will assess a patient's specific condition and history to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option.
TMS sessions are generally administered on an outpatient basis. During a session, you will be seated in a comfortable chair, and a magnetic coil will be positioned on your scalp. The coil will then deliver a series of magnetic pulses to your brain. Each session typically lasts about 20-40 minutes and is usually administered five days a week for several weeks. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after a session, as there is no anesthesia or recovery time required.
TMS therapy is generally well-tolerated, and the most common side effects are mild and temporary, including scalp discomfort or headache during or after a session. The benefits of TMS therapy may include a reduction in depressive symptoms, improved mood, and an overall enhancement in quality of life. It is important to note that individual responses to TMS may vary, and not everyone will experience the same level of improvement.
