TMS, which stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a physical mental health treatment designed to re-activate areas of your brain that regulate emotion, behavior, and mood. These regions commonly have decreased activity in patients with depression, OCD, and anxious depression. TMS works by safely and strategically delivering magnetic pulses to these cognitive areas, essentially waking them up and encouraging increased and improved brain activity. Over time, TMS trains your brain to improve its activity independently, which can ease your mental health symptoms in the long term.
With a long history of research and development spanning almost 50 years, TMS therapy is considered safe and effective. The technology involved in electromagnetic pulses is similar to an MRI.
At Scott A. Fleischer and Associates, we offer NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy, the most recommended TMS treatment by physicians in Fort Washington and worldwide.
NeuroStar is the top TMS treatment vouched for by healthcare professionals to provide symptom relief to qualifying adult and adolescent patients. This amazing treatment is:
All these benefits make NeuroStar a highly favored alternative to conventional treatments, including medication, psychotherapy, and ECT.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is offered at our clinic in 36 sessions as short as 19 minutes each, delivered over a seven-week treatment course. Unlike other treatments, such as surgery and ECT, NeuroStar does not require downtime or recovery time.
For most patients, NeuroStar is well-tolerated. While some individuals may experience mild to moderate discomfort near the treatment area during sessions—often described as similar to a minor headache—this sensation typically diminishes after a few treatment sessions.
NeuroStar stimulates areas of the brain that are affected by mental health disorders. Overtime, it trains your brain to improve its activity by itself, which helps you manage your MDD, OCD, and anxious depression symptoms independently, without the need for medication, therapy, or other treatments.
Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after their session, making NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy highly convenient and accessible for our Fort Washington patients.
