# Unlocking Relief from Depression with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Depression can be a debilitating condition, especially when traditional medications fail to deliver relief. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a groundbreaking, non-invasive treatment that offers new hope for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we specialize in providing TMS therapy as part of our comprehensive mental health services.
## How TMS Works
**[Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation](https://lotuspsychiatryandwellness.com/transcranial-magnetic-stimulation-how-it-works/)** uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, particularly in regions associated with mood regulation. During a TMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp, delivering painless magnetic pulses that activate targeted areas of the brain.
Unlike medications that affect the entire body, TMS focuses directly on the brain’s neural pathways, helping to reset brain activity and improve mood without the systemic side effects of drugs.
## Conditions Treated with TMS
While TMS is primarily known for treating major depressive disorder (MDD), especially when it is resistant to medication, it has also shown promise in treating other conditions, including:
Anxiety disorders
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Chronic pain
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs and diagnosis.
## Benefits of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
**Non-Invasive and Drug-Free**
TMS doesn’t require anesthesia or recovery time. It’s performed in-office, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately afterward.
**Minimal Side Effects**
TMS typically causes few side effects, with the most common being mild scalp discomfort during or after the session.
**High Success Rate**
Clinical studies show that many individuals who don’t respond to antidepressants experience significant improvement with TMS.
**Lasting Results**
Many patients report long-term relief from depressive symptoms after completing a full course of TMS therapy.
