Learn More about Depression

Before exploring the efficacy of Accelerated TMS in treating depression, let's delve into the scientific intricacies of this mental health condition. Depression is not merely an emotional state; it involves intricate changes in neural circuits and neurotransmitter function. Accelerated TMS, building on the principles of traditional TMS, targets the brain's prefrontal cortex, known for reduced activity in depression. Through quick magnetic pulses, this method efficiently stimulates the generation of serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline—key neurotransmitters often found in lower levels in individuals with depression.


How Your Brain Chemistry Influences Your Mental Health

Serotonin: A natural mood stabilizer, regulating various bodily functions.

Dopamine: The "feel-good" neurotransmitter, linked to motivation and mood.

Noradrenaline: Influencing the central nervous system and heart, reducing the chance of anxiety and depression.


These chemicals work synergistically to shape thoughts and feelings. Accelerated TMS corrects imbalances, offering a path to more positive thinking and enhanced well-being.




The Benefits of Using Accelerated TMS Therapy

Why You Should Consider Accelerated TMS Depression Treatment

Standard depression treatments often fall short of expectations. Accelerated TMS has proven to be 2-3 times more effective than antidepressant medications or talk therapy, providing rapid relief for those who haven't responded to traditional methods. 70-80% of individuals who haven't benefited from depression medications experience positive responses to Accelerated TMS, with one-half achieving full remission.
