TMS Therapy

  TMS Therapy

Overcoming depression can be a very difficult challenge. Although depression is highly treatable with antidepressants, not everyone benefits from this type of treatment. Fortunately, a new FDA-approved drug-free treatment option (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy) is available for those suffering from major depression and seeking relief from it.

TMS therapy is non-invasive and uses targeted magnetic pulses to electrically stimulate nerve cells known to control mood and reduce symptoms of depression.

Safe and reliable, TMS therapy is FDA-approved and non-invasive, making it considered a safer option compared to other treatment options. A trained TMS technician goes through the process and is supervised by a qualified doctor. This type of treatment has little or no side effects, unlike antidepressant treatment, which often has side effects that include nausea, weight gain, or memory loss.

Treatment without surgery, Another advantage for patients suffering from depression is that this type of treatment does not involve surgery. This makes it easier for those who are afraid to go under the knife. Typically, this non-invasive treatment process takes 4 to 6 weeks, with patients receiving TMS 5 days a week and a typical session lasting 30-40 minutes.

Although it takes almost a month to complete the course, patients would start feeling better after each session. It further means that slowly and gradually the process would start and you will witness the change.

High success rate, The most notable benefit of this therapy is that it treats many other disorders besides depression. Studies have found that people with resistant depression who receive TMS therapy have an 82% success rate, and on average, these patients show a 75% improvement in depression symptoms. Additionally, 50% of people treated with TMS remained depression-free one year after treatment.

Costs, Although the cost of TMS treatment can be high if not insured, most insurance companies cover TMS treatment if a person is diagnosed with depression. This allows TMS therapy to be a more accessible solution for those suffering from severe depression.

   Changing Blood Sugar Levels When controlling type 2 diabetes, the goal is to keep your fasting blood sugar within a reasonable range and at a steady level throughout the day. Researchers at Taichung Veterans General Hospital and various other research facilities in Taiwan found that too much change in blood sugar readings could lead to a higher risk of developing painful peripheral neuropathy. Their study was published in February 2018 in the journal Diabetes and Metabolism.175 participants were diagnosed with painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and 351 participants with type 2 diabetes without diabetic neuropathy. Participants who had the highest number of blood sugar changes had more than four times the risk of developing painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy than those who had stable levels. Painful and painless peripheral diabetic neuropathy is caused by high blood sugar damaging the nerves. Preventing this complication of diabetes is one reason to keep your level...

Depressed Mind

   Depressed Mind It is a constant gnawing and confusion that is hard to explain. Something has started to eat me from the inside and I can't put my finger on it. What is this weight in my head? That's not a headache. I must be sick. Is it a fever coming on? No it is not. I know it will stay with me for a while. I'm afraid? I try to acknowledge its existence. I have been told that understanding itself is medicine. All around it is a descending and lingering gloom. It's like everything around turns gray and black. There is no other color. No additional color is needed. Why do I always feel like crying? There is no obvious reason to cry! However, it is so. The tears have to come out. Suddenly tiredness overcomes. Every ounce of energy is depleted. My limbs are weak and I urgently need sleep. I sleep like there is no tomorrow, with no desire to wake up because there is no longer any desire to see the world. My bed became my Savior. What happened to the hobbies and activiti...
