If you’re considering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy then it is important to know what you can expect from your treatment. Here are just 5 of the top TMS benefits:
Traditional medication treatments for depression have fairly low rates of success. TMS, in contrast, has shown incredibly high success rates which help people feel like themselves again. Current data shows TMS having a 70-80% success rate, while medication treatment currently shows 20-40%.
Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS), TMS is non-surgical, does not require the administration of an anesthetic, does not have a lengthy recovery time, and is not associated with memory problems. It is a safe and simple therapy using magnetic field technology developed in 1986.
Even when nothing else has helped or provided you with relief, TMS is a life changing option with a high likelihood of success. TMS is a revolutionary treatment option which for many is the first step to finding relief and happiness.
Many antidepressant medications and depression treatments can take months to begin showing improvement. With TMS, some patients find relief within the first week of treatment, and the average is by the 20th treatment session.
TMS therapy is often a treatment chosen after many other treatment options have been tried and failed. However, depending on the insurance provider TMS can be completely covered after only trying and failing 2 or more antidepressants! Though it can be a harrowing experience to seek out treatment and not find relief, TMS has been a life-changing experience for many in finally feeling a positive shift in their mood and getting control of their lives back.
