WHAT IS TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation which is FDA-approved to treat depression, OCD and other mental health conditions. It uses an electromagnetic coil to stimulate neurons in the limbic system which causes a release of neurotransmitters. The effectiveness of TMS has been shown to exceed that of medications and with a lower side effect profile.
Also increases blood flow and glucose metabolism rise - acting as a short-term antidepressant effect
fMRI demonstrated improved functional connectivity, explaining long-term antidepressant effects
Improved GABAergic and Glutamatergic tone
