TMS Therapy
There’s more to mental health treatment than medication
For many years, the initial response to mental health treatment has been psychiatric medications and therapy. Although these conventional treatments can be effective, they don’t work for everyone. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy at Neuro Wellness Spa is a non-medication, outpatient treatment for depression that is FDA-approved and covered by most insurance plans.
TMS has been used since the 1980’s as a brain mapping technique. TMS was FDA-approved for the treatment of depression in 2008, for migraine in 2013, for OCD in 2018, and for smoking cessation in 2019. Research shows TMS is also effective for bipolar depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. Currently, most insurance companies cover TMS for major depression and some provide coverage for OCD treatment.
Unlike other treatments, TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to treat mental health conditions at the source. TMS can be used as a stand-alone treatment or along with existing medication. Plus, TMS is well-tolerated and has fewer side effects than other treatments, or in some cases, no side effects at all.
Who is a candidate?
Is TMS right for you?
If you’re experiencing lingering symptoms or unwanted side effects after one or more antidepressant trials, or if you want to supplement your current treatments, you might consider TMS. TMS may be your next step if you:
- Have depression or OCD.
- Aren’t satisfied with results of antidepressants.
- Responded to medication but not in remission.
- Cannot tolerate medication side effects.
- Have failed one or more medication trials.
- Wish to avoid antidepressants and/or augmenters.
