TMS: A Breakthrough in Depression Treatment
If you're seeking an innovative, non-invasive treatment for depression, TMS may be the solution you’ve been looking for. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we are proud to offer cutting-edge Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy to patients struggling with treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders. Backed by science and approved by the FDA, TMS is transforming how we approach mental health care.
What is TMS?
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This stimulation targets areas of the brain associated with mood control, specifically the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is often underactive in individuals with depression.
Unlike medications that affect the entire body and may come with unwanted side effects, TMS focuses on precise regions of the brain without the need for sedation or anesthesia. Patients remain awake during treatment and can resume normal activities immediately afterward.
Who is a Candidate for TMS Therapy?
TMS is primarily recommended for individuals who have not experienced sufficient relief from antidepressants or psychotherapy. It is especially effective for patients with treatment-resistant depression. However, it may also be beneficial for individuals suffering from:
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Anxiety disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, our expert team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if TMS is right for you.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the patient’s scalp. This coil delivers gentle magnetic pulses that stimulate brain activity in the targeted areas. Each session typically lasts between 20 and 40 minutes, and a full treatment course usually includes five sessions per week over four to six weeks.
Most patients start to notice improvements in their mood, energy levels, and overall outlook within the first few weeks of treatment.
