Drug-free alternative for the treatment of Depression
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that can be used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders. In treating depression, TMS may be used when patients have not responded to antidepressant medications, have unacceptable side effects to medications or would prefer to try another treatment option.
TMS can be undertaken in combination with or alongside medications or as a complete alternative. The best course of action for you can be discussed with the psychiatrist at Illawarra TMS during your consultation. TMS is especially useful if you have treatment-resistant depression where it is approximately four times more likely to be effective compared to trying another medication, and far less likely to cause side-effects.
