Speak with our Madison-based team today to find out if TMS therapy for depression is the right choice for you.

The Science Behind TMS Therapy and Depression

Depression is a brain disorder that leads to reduced activity in specific areas of the brain responsible for mood, emotions, and behavior. While medications are designed to improve brain function internally, they are not always effective, and many patients experience persistent symptoms or intolerable side effects from medications alone.

TMS therapy offers a different approach by stimulating brain activity externally. The treatment sends targeted magnetic pulses to regions of the brain that are suppressed in individuals with depression. By activating these areas, TMS improves overall brain function. Over time, the brain becomes more responsive and learns to maintain this improvement on its own, offering patients a chance at long-lasting symptom relief without medication.

Is TMS Therapy Right for You?

Every individual’s experience with depression is unique, and TMS therapy may not be suitable for everyone. However, TMS therapy for depression might be a good fit if:

  • Your depression has proven to be resistant to treatment with traditional medications.
  • Depression symptoms significantly interfere with your daily life and quality of living.
  • Medications have failed to provide the desired symptom relief.
  • The side effects of medication are unmanageable or cause significant worry.
  • You prefer a non-medication, non-surgical treatment option for depression.
