At FitMind Therapeutics, we understand how challenging it can be to navigate mental health issues such as depression, depression with anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). That is where NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy comes in. This innovative, non-invasive procedure has emerged as an effective solution for patients facing these mental health challenges, offering a proven, physician-recommended alternative to traditional treatments for major depressive disorder and anxious depression and serving as an adjunct treatment for OCD.
NeuroStar TMS therapy offers many benefits for our patients, especially those who have not found relief by using other treatments, including medication and talk therapy. If you are ready to take the first step toward feeling better, our expert clinical team at FitMind Therapeutics could tell you about the benefits of TMS therapy and help you determine whether NeuroStar TMS treatments are right for you.
One of NeuroStar TMS therapy’s greatest benefits is that it is completely non-invasive. This means that you will not need surgery, sedation, incisions, or stitches as you would with traditional treatment options that may involve more invasive methods.
If you have struggled with the side effects of medications in the past, NeuroStar TMS therapy may be the right choice for you. Another one of its benefits is that, unlike antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications, NeuroStar TMS does not have the common side effects of medications like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or fatigue. By directly targeting your brain’s neurological function, NeuroStar TMS therapy works to correct the underlying issues, providing a safe and effective alternative to drugs.
One of the most important benefits of the NeuroStar TMS process is that it is well-tolerated by most patients. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort at the treatment site, but this is typically brief, temporary, and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Many patients report that the benefits of the treatment far outweigh any side effects. Compared to often harsh systemic side effects from medications or discomfort from other treatments, the mild side effects from NeuroStar TMS therapy make this treatment a good option for many.
NeuroStar TMS therapy does not require any downtime—which is a key benefit. The treatments are quick and convenient and last about 20 to 30 minutes per day. You could easily fit them into your busy schedule. Once each session is over, you are free to return to your daily activities without feeling groggy or fatigued, making this treatment ideal for those balancing work, school, or family obligations.
