TheraMind Services offers TMS therapy for drug resistant depression (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS is a noninvasive, non-drug, side effect free, procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. Through a treatment coil, the TMS therapy system generates highly concentrated, magnetic fields which are rapidly switched on and off. These magnetic fields do not directly affect the whole brain; they only reach a few centimeters into the brain, directly beneath the treatment coil.
Each TheraMind® Center facilitates a team approach to wellness. TheraMind Directors and Specialists consult with referring physicians, mental health providers and family for a coordinated approach to each patient’s treatment. Our Centers are equipped with state-of-the-art TMS therapy systems and staffed with experienced compassionate personnel. Treatment rooms are designed for our patients’ comfort and our treatment enhancement programs are designed for optimum therapy results. TheraMind accepts health insurance and our Specialists work with you to determine your benefits.
Since the 1980s, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been used to study the nerve fibers that carry information about movements from the brain to the spinal cord and on to the muscles. In the late 1990s, physicians began to explore the therapeutic potential of TMS for the treatment of a variety of diseases, with depression being the most thoroughly studied to date. Since then, more than 20 randomized, controlled trials studying TMS as a treatment for depression have been published by researchers throughout the world.
