What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure used primarily for the treatment of major depressive disorder in adults. Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS targets specific areas of the brain identified as underactive, using focused magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells and promote neural activity. This innovative approach offers a drug-free alternative for individuals seeking relief from depression.
How Does TMS Therapy Work at MedPsych Integrated - Cary?
At our Cary location, our experienced team begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if TMS is appropriate for you. If recommended, the TMS session involves sitting comfortably while a specialized device is positioned near your head. This device generates brief magnetic pulses that pass over the scalp and precisely target specific brain regions involved in mood regulation. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects, and requires no sedation. Most patients find the sensation described as a tapping or clicking feeling on the scalp.
Who Can Benefit from TMS Therapy at Our Cary Center?
TMS is typically recommended for adults diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, meaning their depression has not adequately responded to at least one course of medication. It may also be considered for individuals experiencing persistent depressive symptoms who prefer a non-pharmacological treatment option or have contraindications for medication use. Our team at MedPsych Integrated - Cary works closely with each patient to assess their unique situation and determine the suitability of TMS therapy.
