Why You Should Consider TMS Therapy

NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is a well-respected treatment option that may be an optimal mental health choice for elderly patients. Extensive clinical research supports its effectiveness, showing that 83% of patients report improved symptoms of depression, such as elevated mood and fewer depressive days (Sackeim HA, et al. (2020). J Affective Disorders, 277(12):65-74.). The same research shows many patients begin to notice positive changes within just a couple of weeks, with the benefits lasting for up to a year after completing the treatment plan (Dunner DL, et al. (2014). J Clin Psychiatry, 75(12):1394-1401).

If you’re an elderly patient in Houston struggling with MDD, OCD, or depression with comorbid anxiety, NeuroStar TMS therapy could offer the relief you need.

How Does TMS Therapy Work for Elderly Patients?

Mental health issues, like depression, affect how your brain works, making it harder to feel happy or enjoy life. TMS therapy, like NeuroStar, is a safe treatment that uses special magnetic pulses to stimulate certain parts of your brain. Think of it as giving your brain a little “wake-up call.” This could help improve your mood and overall mental health, making it easier to manage your feelings and feel better day by day.

This FDA-cleared treatment is usually very beneficial for our patients. For most, NeuroStar treatments are well-tolerated, only causing mild discomfort. The sessions are quick, requiring only 20 minutes of your day and no downtime or recovery period.

These reasons and many others make NeuroStar TMS therapy an excellent mental health treatment solution for elderly patients in Houston. If you have any questions about this treatment, don’t hesitate to ask our specialists at AMS Health and Wellness.
