Is TMS Therapy Right for Me?

Medication and therapy are two of the most highly effective treatments for mental health. However, they are not right for everyone. For patients who struggle with achieving success with these treatments and need a low-risk, non-surgical, and non-invasive treatment alternative, TMS therapy can be the answer.

TMS can be especially ideal for qualifying patients with depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. But is TMS therapy right for you? This article covers what TMS therapy is, how it works, and who might benefit most from it. For more personalized medical advice, schedule your consultation with AMS Health and Wellness specialists today.

What Is TMS Therapy, and How Does it Work?

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical, non-medication, and non-invasive mental health treatment option for patients aged 15+ with the following:

• Clinical depression (also known as Major Depressive Disorder or MDD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• MDD with anxious depression

TMS therapy is deeply rooted in neuroscience. Many mental health conditions, including depression, anxious depression, and OCD, stem from suppressed brain activity, particularly in brain areas that involve your mood, emotion, and behavior, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. Patients with mental health conditions often experience lowered activity in these specific areas of the brain, which is often the cause of their mental health symptoms.

TMS therapy aims to boost brain activity in these areas to help you manage your symptoms. By using gentle electromagnetic waves targeted at specific regions of the brain, TMS stimulates and enhances brain function in a highly safe and controlled manner. As it helps restore proper brain activity and function, it can also ease your mental health symptoms.

At AMS Health and Wellness, we proudly offer one of the leading TMS treatments available, NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy. This treatment is ideal for patients 15+ with major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder with anxious depression.

FDA-cleared NeuroStar is the gold-standard treatment of its kind and is the most recommended TMS therapy in the world by physicians. It can benefit patients who have not seen success with other treatments, such as medication or psychotherapy.
