ROCHESTER MINNESOTA USA.
Not all people who become depressed, can handle antidepressants, because of their side effects, and a lot of the time the medications are not effective.
Now a new treatment, with barely any side effects is on the market.
A new treatment, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, (TMS) has been approved by the FDA. This treatment also helps people who are resistant to the usual pill type antidepressants.
It uses technology, yo change brain functions. It can treat, psychotic disorders, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders.
TMS, works at its best, for people with moderate, to hard to treat depression, the Mayo Clinic reports, and works best for people who cannot tolerate normal antidepressants.
A TMS device, according to the Eastern Virginia Medical School, makes a magnetic field that goes through the brain, and causes a calming effect in the brains cortex.
In a way, the magnetic field stimulates cells that vastly improve depression.
The great thing about this treatment, is that there is no pain, or side effects, but in a few cases, mild headaches are noticed, and muscle pain, which soon recedes
The cost is reasonable, and can take a few days to start working.
