TMS for severe depression is within reach.
We use NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain. Areas that are under-active in people with depression. It is not electroconvulsive therapy.
While the exact cause of depression is still not known. The leading scientific theory is that it is due to an imbalance of the brain’s neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells.
During a NeuroStar treatment session, a magnet, similar to those in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, is used to stimulate nerve cells. Stimulate areas of the brain thought to control mood.
