The Benefits Of TMS Therapy
An increasing number of people worldwide are suffering from stress, anxiety and most importantly depression. While the disorder itself might be debilitating to live with, it’s made worse by the fact that some individuals don’t respond to medication. TMS therapy offers alternative hope for this category of patients.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is a relatively new form of treatment that uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells. TMS therapy has shown positive results in improving symptoms of neurological or mental health disorders such as depression. One of the biggest benefits of this treatment is that it is non-invasive and requires no hospitalisation or extra medication. Thanks to its non-invasive nature, another benefit of TMS therapy is the drastic decrease in potential side effects. Most people report no side effects at all, and those who do, claim very minor discomfort such as infrequent headaches or scalp irritation.
The final benefit of TMS therapy is that it is a well-researched and officially approved form of treatment since 2008. This is a great indication that 20-30 sessions of TMS therapy can be a highly effective option for individuals who are resistant to all other forms of depression treatments.
