Anyone who has battled major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, or other mental disorders knows how difficult these treatable conditions can be. They impact every part of your life, making the most basic daily tasks into big challenges. into major challenges.
Unfortunately, seeking treatment for a mental health disorder can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Additionally, traditional forms of treatment, like medication, sometimes don’t work for everyone, causing difficult side effects that can leave you feeling worse than you did before.
Although this situation seems hopeless, it isn’t. During a TMS therapy session, an electromagnetic coil will be carefully placed against your scalp. The exact spot can vary, which is why your first TMS session involves something called brain mapping. Brain mapping is a process where the coil is placed on different areas of your scalp in order to find the ideal treatment location for your TMS therapy sessions. It also helps determine how strong and how many electromagnetic pulses you need.
Next, the electromagnetic coil will generate repetitive pulses – some people say it feels like someone is lightly tapping their scalp. These pulses stimulate nerves in areas of your brain that are involved in mood regulation.
Depression and other mental health disorders are much more than bad moods – they’re diseases that change how your brain operates. According to Yale Medicine, stress, anxiety, and other conditions cause connections between your brain cells to break apart. This causes messaging in your brain to become muddled, leading to symptoms of depression.
The biological reasons TMS appears to work aren’t fully understood yet. However, the repetitive pulses of TMS seem to stimulate brain cells affected by depression and other mental health disorders, helping re-establish connections and ease the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and more.
Cleared in 2008 by the FDA for treating MDD, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that does not require anesthesia and has minimal side effects. Using an electromagnetic coil strategically placed on the scalp, TMS creates repetitive magnetic pulses that are targeted to areas of the brain that help us manage our emotions, resulting in improved concentration, sleep quality, and overall mood. resulting in improved concentration, sleep quality, and overall mood.
