Breaking Through

The Bleak Cycle Of

Depression.

Have you been feeling long-lasting sadness, sometimes accompanied by feelings of hopelessness and inadequacy? Are you experiencing sleeplessness, a change in appetite or weight, or difficulty in following your daily routine?

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is one of the most acute, widespread pathologies of the 21st century, affecting nearly 15 million American adults annually1.

For many people coping with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) antidepressants provide adequate symptom relief, allowing them to resume usual activities and enjoyment of their life. However, for a number of people medications unfortunately
provide little to no symptom relief. These people are referred to as suffering from Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD).2

TMS therapy can be key for many to break through having depression. Approximately 58% of patients with treatment resistant MDD respond positively to TMS therapy.3
