When Medication and Traditional Therapy is Not Enough

While medication and conventional therapy can be beneficial for patients with depression, they do not always work. Often, traditional treatments are not the right fit for our patients with depression. If this sounds like you, you may find yourself experiencing one or more of the following situations:

  • Feeling uncomfortable taking medications to manage your condition
  • Fear of being dependent on medications
  • Experiencing the same—or even worse—symptoms
  • Your medications are no longer working
  • Difficulty managing the side effects of medication
  • Switching between medications with no results
  • You are unable, ineligible for, or not willing to undergo therapy
  • Therapy is too expensive and slow for your needs
  • You have tried multiple therapists or types of therapy with no results

NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy may suit you if these situations are familiar. In a simple, rapid treatment course in Fort Washington, this ground-breaking TMS treatment may help you manage your depression symptoms and experience a new lease on life.

How Does TMS Therapy for Depression Work?

Patients diagnosed with depression demonstrate reduced brain activity compared to those without the condition, particularly in regions of the brain responsible for regulating mood, emotion, and behavior.

This diminished brain activity causes depressive symptoms, including persistent feelings of sadness, decreased energy levels, loss of interest in social interactions, and an overall sense of emotional numbness or emptiness—which can profoundly impact that person’s daily life and emotional well-being.

NeuroStar TMS uses safe electromagnetic pulses to treat the brain areas involved with depression, essentially waking up these lower-functioning areas of the brain and stimulating the activity.

As a result, NeuroStar TMS helps you regulate your emotions and mood. It also helps you enhance your mood and desire for social engagement and experience fewer depression days. In addition, your brain is trained to improve its activity by itself.

Benefits of TMS Therapy for Depression

NeuroStar is the gold standard in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for many reasons.

The NeuroStar TMS treatment regimen consists of a seven-week treatment course of 19-minute sessions. This convenient program ensures minimal disruption to daily routines, as there is no downtime or recovery period necessary post-treatment.

NeuroStar TMS is also affordable for our patients and covered by major American insurance providers. Schedule your appointment in Fort Washington today for more information about NeuroStar TMS therapy for depression.
