Depression Help Philadelphia

TMS uses magnetic energy pulses directed at specific regions of the brain. It’s a non-invasive, safe treatment that combats parts of the brain associated with mood control. It has a history of being effective in helping patients with depression who have not seen results with more traditional treatments. However, recent studies have been promising. There have been positive results in treating those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

TMS is not designed to be a cure for those with autism. However, it helps alleviate symptoms. TMS improves common autism-related issues, such as:

• Inability to focus
• Trouble with social situations
• Inability with communication
• Behavioral issues

By combatting common issues related to ASD, TMS helps to improve the quality of life for patients.

While TMS treatment for autism is still in its early stages, results have been promising. Studies have shown TMS significantly reduces language and social-related symptoms in those with autism. Caregivers of children treated with TMS have also reported improvements in imitation and cognition. TMS has shown to be effective with minimal side effects.
