Depression is a serious mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While traditional treatments such as therapy and medication can be effective, some individuals do not experience significant relief from their symptoms. This is where TMS Coral Springs comes in as an innovative and non-invasive solution for those struggling with depression and other mental health disorders.
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a cutting-edge treatment option to help patients find relief and regain control over their lives.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. Unlike medication, which affects the entire body, TMS directly targets brain activity without the systemic side effects commonly seen with antidepressants.
TMS therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)—those who have not responded well to traditional antidepressants or therapy. It is also being explored as a potential treatment for anxiety, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
During a TMS session, patients sit comfortably while a magnetic coil is placed on the scalp near the prefrontal cortex—an area responsible for mood regulation. The device delivers gentle magnetic pulses that stimulate brain activity, promoting the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Non-Invasive: No need for surgery or anesthesia.
Drug-Free: Avoids the side effects of antidepressant medications.
Highly Effective: Many patients experience significant improvement in depressive symptoms.
Long-Lasting Results: Effects can last for months or even years after completing treatment.
Minimal Side Effects: Some patients may experience mild scalp discomfort or headaches, but these symptoms usually resolve quickly.
TMS therapy is recommended for individuals who:
Have not found relief from traditional antidepressants or therapy.
Experience side effects from medications that make continued use difficult.
Prefer a non-invasive and drug-free alternative for depression treatment.
Are seeking a safe, FDA-approved treatment for major depressive disorder.
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we carefully evaluate each patient’s medical history and symptoms to determine if TMS Coral Springs is the right treatment option.
Each TMS session typically lasts 20-40 minutes, and treatments are scheduled five days a week for four to six weeks. The procedure does not require any downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately after each session.
Most patients begin noticing improvements within two to three weeks, with further benefits developing as treatment progresses.
