What is Deep TMS
Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS Therapy) is a safe and effective FDA approved treatment for individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not experienced satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication or who feel medication is causing unwanted side effects.
TMS Therapy is also approved for Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Depending on the need, TMS may be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with medication. TMS at times may be used to treat anxiety, migraines, chronic pain and substance use disorders.
North Spring Psychiatry TMS utilizes TMS devices that are FDA-cleared and indicated for the treatment of MDD and OCD. These devices deliver magnetic pulses, stimulating specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
These areas are known to be underactive in those diagnosed with depression, & stimulating these areas can improve the brain’s ability to regulate mood.
