TMS Therapy for Depression

What is Depression?

Depression has been acknowledged for thousands of years. The ancient Greeks called it “melancholia,” attributing it to an excess of black bile. Today, Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious medical condition affecting over 14 million American adults annually.

How TMS Can Help…

While the exact cause of depression is unclear, it is linked to an imbalance in neurotransmitters—chemical messengers in the brain—and decreased activity in the frontal lobes. Antidepressant medications are the most common treatment, working to boost neurotransmitter levels.

While many individuals find relief through antidepressants, these medications don’t work for everyone and can cause side effects such as weight gain, reduced libido, nausea, drowsiness, and dry mouth. For millions, the benefits of antidepressants are limited, or the side effects are difficult to manage.

We hope the information provided here helps you determine whether Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) could be the next effective treatment option for you or a loved one. TMS is a safe, well-tolerated, and highly effective yet underutilized therapy for alleviating depression and other mental health symptoms. At Doctor’s Best TMS, our team will thoroughly review all treatment options to ensure you have the best chance of success if you choose to pursue TMS therapy.

The Symptoms of Depression

MDD brings a persistent feeling of sadness that disrupts thoughts, behavior, mood, and physical health. Common symptoms include:

  • Loss of interest in usual activities or inability to feel pleasure
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, helplessness, or guilt
  • Changes in sleep patterns and reduced energy
  • Changes in appetite, leading to weight loss or gain
  • Thoughts of death or suicide

Who can benefit from TMS?

Consider the following questions:

  • Have you tried more than one antidepressant medication?
  • Have medications failed to provide sufficient relief from your depression?
  • Do the side effects of medication outweigh their benefits?
  • Has depression led to increased visits to your doctor for other health concerns?
  • Is depression interfering with your ability to work or earn a living?
  • Does depression still feel like it has too much control over your life?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, TMS Therapy could be a viable treatment option for you.
