TMS Therapy for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)
Researchers have suggested that for some people, having too little of certain substances in the brain (called neurotransmitters) could contribute to depression. Restoring the balance of these brain chemicals could help alleviate symptoms. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive and non-drug method to help restore this balance.
Magstim TMS Therapy involves the use of short pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. These magnetic pulses are delivered to the area in the brain that researchers believe is responsible for emotional judgment and mood regulation.
The rapid magnetic pulses created by the TMS System pass through the skull and generate an electric current in the brain directly under the treatment coil. These electric currents cause neurons to fire and stimulate surrounding brain cells.

TMS & ECT
TMS and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) are both effective in the treatment of depression, but ECT is associated with more side effects such as memory loss. ECT requires general anesthesia while the electric currents are passed through the brain to induce a seizure. When given as an outpatient procedure the patient may not drive for 24 hours following ECT.
