Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is effective depression help in Philadelphia. It’s designed for individuals who have not seen positive results from traditional therapy treatment. If talk therapy or depression medications have not been effective, consider contacting us for the best depression therapy Philadelphia offers.

TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerves in the brain. The signals sent to the brain are not meant to be felt, so there is little to no pain associated with TMS. It is a non-invasive treatment, and most return to their usual activities right after their session. While side effects are minimal, some may experience headaches or lightheadedness. Side effects usually go away after continued treatments.

The results of TMS therapy are seen within two to several weeks of starting treatment. The exact time frame will differ from patient to patient. Younger people tend to see positive results quicker than older patients. Studies indicate that 50-60% of people see positive results from TMS therapy. These studies are for the treatment of depression only. Research for the treatment of other mental conditions is still underway.

Most people who benefit from TMS wonder how long the positive results will last. The answer to this question will differ. Some patients will experience complete remission, while others will see their depression symptoms return with time. The majority of patients will see the results of treatment for at least a year. The good news for those who have symptoms return is that they can go for more TMS treatment if their doctor recommends it.
