Whats transcranial magnetic stimulation?

Treats Depression: The brain is an electric organ as much as it is a chemical one. Tms "activates" a specific part of the brain which relieves depression. It is safe and effective. It has been used to study and treat depression since the 1980s. It is given 5 days a week, 20minutes a session, for 4-6 weeks and can be very expensive.

Effective Treatment: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) is a non-invasive and fda-cleared option for patients who have not responded to medication. Tms involves placing an MRI strength magnet, over the scalp covering a part of the brain that is underactive in depression. Tms treats depression by stimulating the frontal lobe, causing it, and deeper brain structures, to have healthier connections and activity.
