Many patients struggle with navigating their mental health treatments. Medication is a first-line treatment, but it can have mixed results. When medication and talk therapy have not helped your depressive and anxious symptoms, you should know that there are non-medicinal, non-surgical alternatives that are FDA-cleared, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
TMS therapy is an attractive treatment option for many patients due to its safety and efficacy, but is it right for you? If you are wondering, “Is TMS therapy right for me?” you have reached the right place. This page is a good place to start, but it is not medical advice. For professional medical guidance, speak to our staff at TMS Center of New Jersey.
What is TMS therapy, and is it right for you? TMS therapy is a safe mental health treatment on the market. It is a non-surgical and non-medication treatment designed for patients with various mental health conditions, including major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and MDD with anxiety.
Patients with these chronic mental health conditions experience lowered brain activity in specific areas of the brain that regulate and control mood, emotion, and behavior. TMS therapy works by “waking up” these depressed brain regions. It does this by safely delivering electromagnetic waves to these areas, stimulating brain activity. This treatment is progressive—the more TMS sessions you participate in, the stronger your brain gets, and you will see a marked improvement in your mental health symptoms over time.
At TMS Center of New Jersey, we offer NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy, the number one doctor-recommended TMS therapy. This treatment is the gold standard TMS treatment for qualifying adults with MDD, OCD, or MDD with anxiety and adolescent patients (15-21) with MDD.
This treatment is particularly ideal for patients who have been unsuccessful with medication and therapy for these conditions. It is delivered in a seven-week treatment course of approximately 18-minute sessions. Patients love how easy it is to integrate their NeuroStar treatments into their schedules. NeuroStar is also covered by several major insurance providers, including Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross/ Blue Shield, United Cigna, Aetna, and Tricare. NeuroStar also offers its own financial support program for qualifying patients.
