Alternative\u00a0treatment
for\u00a0depression<\/strong>\u00a0and OCD<\/strong><\/h1>

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that
works by sending short magnetic pulses to the areas of the brain that
influence thoughts, emotions and behaviors. TMS has shown to be an alternative
treatment for the symptoms of depression and OCD.<\/p>

What is TMS<\/h2>

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.<\/p>\n\n

During the treatment, a small coil is placed on the patient\u2019s head and painless magnetic pulses are sent to the targeted area of the brain. This stimulation can improve symptoms of these mental health issues. <\/p>\n\n

TMS is a well-tolerated depression treatment option that does not require any anesthesia or surgery. TMS treatment typically involves daily sessions over several weeks and patients can resume their normal activities immediately following each session. <\/p>\n\n

If you have questions about TMS or whether it may be an appropriate treatment for you, speak with your healthcare provider.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>

TMS for depression<\/h2><\/div>

Clinical depression (also known as major depression or major depressive disorder \u2013 MDD) is a common illness that affects around 5% of adults worldwide (according to WHO<\/a>). Clinical depression is characterized long-term symptoms such as a depressed mood (feeling sad, irritable, empty for no reason), a loss of interest in activity and life general, poor concentration, feelings of excessive guilt or low self-worth, hopelessness, thoughts about dying or suicide, disrupted sleep, changes in appetite or weight and intense tiredness. If you are experiencing the symptoms of depression, know that you are not alone \u2013 help is available.  The most common treatment modalities for major depression are medication and counselling or psychotherapy \u2013 however, medication isn\u2019t suitable for everyone, and counselling\/psychotherapy is not always accessible. TMS treatment for depression stimulates neural pathways to help restore the emotional control center of the brain.<\/p><\/div>
