When you’re depressed, your symptoms are present most of the day and nearly every day.
Treatment for depression begins with antidepressants and psychotherapy. The therapists at Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America are skilled at using many different types of talk therapy, so they choose the approach that works best for you.
If your symptoms don’t improve after several courses of medication, you have treatment-resistant depression, a problem that affects 30% of all people treated for depression. Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America offers several alternative therapies for treatment-resistant depression.
The team at Neuro Wellness TMS Centers of America provides the following alternative treatments for patients with treatment-resistant depression or those who can’t tolerate the side effects of their medication:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
TMS stimulates nerve activity in your brain using a device that’s placed against your head and sends magnetic pulses into your brain. The stimulation restores normal nerve activity and increases neurotransmitters in the area of your brain that regulates mood. As a result, your depression improves.
