LEARN HOW TMS THERAPY TREATMENT CAN HELP YOU
This non-invasive treatment involves electrical coils pulsating repeatedly, stimulating nerve cells and modulating brain activity. These pulse repetitions change the efficiency of neurons in your brain, which reduce depression symptoms and other adverse mental health symptoms. Research shows it alleviates these symptoms by regulating the prefrontal cortex in the brain which regulates mood, thoughts, and behaviors. Brandywine Valley TMS is a leading provider of TMS for depression and anxiety. Our TMS therapy treatment offers hope to many people with hard-to-treat symptoms, even TRD.
Brandywine Valley TMS is one of the best outpatient mental health clinics in Wilmington, offering an affordable and accessible option for those seeking mental health care. We provide a comfortable and confidential setting where individuals can address their mental health needs.
During the late 1990s, researchers from across the globe published over 20 randomized, controlled trials studying TMS as a treatment for depression. Today, TMS research grows more and more robust, highlighting the wide-ranging benefits of TMS, for depression and beyond. TMS is taking the mental health world by storm and for good reason. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression and is tired of dealing with medication side effects, TMS may be the answer.
Magnetic therapy has become an increasingly popular method for treating a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, OCD, and anxiety. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a type of magnetic therapy that has been found to be particularly effective for these conditions. By using electromagnetic pulses, TMS therapy can help regulate the brain's activity and reduce symptoms such as intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. Similarly, TMS therapy for anxiety can help target areas of the brain responsible for regulating emotions and alleviate symptoms such as racing thoughts and constant worry. For those struggling with these conditions, magnetic therapy such as TMS can provide a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option that shows promising results.
TMS therapy continues to help thousands of people every day to regain their lives through the mental health support they deserve.
What to Expect During a TMS Therapy Session
A small headpiece will be placed atop your head during a TMS session. Then, an electromagnetic coil hovers above the front area of your head and transmits pulsating magnetic fields. This function is similar to that of an MRI, but on a much, much smaller scale. These magnetic pulses reach about two to three centimeters into the brain to activate neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure gaining popularity as a treatment option for individuals struggling with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and anxiety. This innovative technique uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, offering potential relief and improved mental well-being. With its promising results, TMS has become a viable therapeutic approach for those seeking effective solutions to manage their symptoms. These bodily chemicals are often out of balance when a person suffers from adverse mental health symptoms, and TMS therapy's functionality can help bring everything back into order. These pulses do not directly affect the whole brain. Rather, they affect only the area directly beneath the treatment coil.
What Does TMS Feel Like?
In the majority of TMS Therapy sessions, patients report feeling perfectly at ease, if not completely relaxed. Some people may feel a light tapping sensation, but this feeling typically dissipates once a person grows accustomed to treatment.
While TMS is a safe, evidence-based treatment, it is not right for everyone. Always consult with our care team prior to beginning a new treatment. Any and all concerns will be addressed during an initial consultation. Please watch the two example videos in this section from Mike and Becky - two Brandywine Valley TMS patients talking about TMS therapy.
