Hope for Healing
TMS Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder
Advanced, FDA-cleared treatment for those seeking relief from depression
When traditional treatments haven't provided the relief you need, TMS therapy offers new hope. This innovative, non-invasive treatment directly targets the brain circuits involved in depression, helping you reclaim your life and well-being.
Understanding Major Depressive Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is more than occasional sadness—it's a serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life.
People with MDD may experience persistent feelings of hopelessness, loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, and difficulties in work, school, or relationships. Depression can impact both the mind and body, affecting sleep, appetite, concentration, and energy levels.
In severe cases, individuals may struggle to carry out routine daily activities. If you or someone you care about is experiencing several of these symptoms for more than two weeks, it may indicate Major Depressive Disorder.
Common Symptoms of MDD
-
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
-
Fatigue or lack of energy
-
Changes in sleep patterns, insomnia or oversleeping
-
Changes in appetite or weight
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
Traditional Treatments for Depression
The first line of treatment for MDD often includes antidepressant medications and psychotherapy (talk therapy). For many people, these approaches provide significant relief.
However, up to one-third of individuals with depression do not respond adequately to medications or cannot tolerate their side effects.
This is often referred to as treatment-resistant depression.
