Anew Era TMS & Psychiatry Laguna Hills, California
Depression is a serious mental health condition that impacts approximately 16 million Americans each year. Living with depression is akin to shifting one’s world from vibrant color to bleak tones of gray, removing life and vitality from every aspect of living. Feelings of listlessness, despair, persistent sadness and deep fatigue punctuate the days. With no energy or motivation to participate in life, days become defined by sleep and watching television. Living with depression is not living at all.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising alternative therapy for treating individuals with depression whose symptoms were not relieved with antidepressants. Anew Era TMS & Psychiatry, the premier resource for expert TMS depression treatment, is now serving residents of Laguna Hills.
TMS Depression Treatment Center Laguna Hills, California
TMS therapy is a revolutionary alternative therapy that has offered renewed hope to patients with persistent depression who were not successfully treated with conventional treatment methods. It is common that people who are seeking help from a psychiatrist for their depression with antidepressants find little relief. The disappointing reality is that a large percentage of people who trial antidepressants do not experience successful results. Even trialing several antidepressants may not yield any significant improvement in symptoms. And if that isn’t frustrating enough, while trialing the drugs many experience unpleasant side effects (weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, insomnia, blurred vision). Sometimes when every avenue such as therapy, psychotherapy, medications, counseling, and more have been tried but unsuccessful, there can be a loss of hope. TMS Therapy provides new hope.
These treatment-resistant patients have an excellent alternative depression treatment to antidepressants: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).TMS Therapy has helped thousands of people feel like themselves again when other treatments and medications have failed to work. TMS is safe, FDA approved, and non-invasive. TMS focuses on treating you at the source, your brain, and has seen success in patients struggling with anxiety or depression. TMS uses an effective technique that sends magnetic fields to shift brain chemistry in the mood center of the brain. The brain stimulation technique can result in improved mood, better sleep quality, more energy, and better concentration. If you are struggling, talk to your psychiatrist about how TMS Therapy could help you.
