Transcranial magnetic stimulation for adults
TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a treatment that helps balance the activity of neurons in the brain. When certain parts of the brain are poorly active, this can lead to mental health disorders, such as depression. TMS works by jumping by starting non-reactive neurons and restoring normal functioning.
During these treatments, Dr. Suzuki will address the parts of the brain that are inactive. She does this by placing a soft plastic coil around your head. It then provides transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) by sending magnetic pulses to the target parts of the brain. Those pulses initiate neuronal activity in those regions. As a result, adult TMS helps balance your brain and gives you relief from your mental health challenges.
Whether you feel depressed, anxious or have problems with obsessions or compulsions, treatment with adult TMS is designed to help.
Irvine TMS Treatment for Adults
Clinical studies have shown that adult TMS therapy is effective for a variety of conditions. The FDA has approved the treatment of adult TMS for both depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In addition, it is used to help people get relief from anxiety and mood swings that often result from traumatic brain injury. TMS has also helped people free themselves from addictions, including smoking.
The best candidates for adult TMS treatment are people who live with a mental health challenge and want a non-invasive and effective way to transform their brain. It is a preferred treatment for health professionals who have patients who have been resistant to first-line treatments.
For example, if you have depression and have not responded to psychotherapy or medication management , TMS could help you get relief. In fact, a study on the treatment of TMS for adults with depression showed that about one third of people who received this treatment experienced complete remission. In other words, his symptoms disappeared completely.
What to expect during treatment with adult TMS
This treatment is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. While relaxing in a chair, Dr. Suzuki will place the coil around his head and begin treatment. The duration of treatment will last between a few and 40 minutes, depending on your specific needs. During that time, you will hear a threading sound while the coil provides transcranial magnetic stimulation. Dr. Suzuki will give you earplugs to keep you comfortable.
One of the best things about adult TMS treatment is that it is designed to fit your busy life. No anesthesia is used in this non-invasive treatment. That means you can drive to and from your appointment and continue your usual daily activities immediately after. You can even get your TMS therapy during your lunch breaks!
