TMS Depression Treatment in Hoffman Estates, IL

Here’s what makes TMS therapy unique:

TMS therapy is completely drug-free, which makes it suitable for people who:

• Don’t benefit fully from anti-depressant medication
• Can’t tolerate the side effects of medication
• Can’t tolerate the side effects of medication

Not everyone is able to, nor do they want to, take anti-depressants. TMS therapy can be a good alternative to get relief from depression.

TMS therapy isn’t the only drug-free depression treatment. Electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation are options. While these treatments are drug-free, they are also invasive, requiring surgery or unpleasant procedures, and often involving anesthesia.

TMS therapy is both drug-free and non-invasive – and you can even listen to music or watch TV while you have treatment!

Some people have side effects as a result of TMS therapy, but these side effects are short-lived and mild. The most common side effect is discomfort at or near the treatment site, while having the treatment. This discomfort usually subsides after the first week of treatment sessions.

Fewer than 5% of patients stop having TMS therapy because of side effects.

For most people, it takes around two to three weeks to start seeing positive changes in mood after beginning TMS therapy. For others, it happens even sooner!

The benefits of TMS therapy are long-term; however, you may need booster treatments to stay depression-free. If you do, it’ll likely be just one per year. Most insurance providers cover booster treatments.

TMS therapy has documented success in treating depression, and it’s FDA-approved. This means that most insurance carriers do provide coverage for TMS therapy.

Most people with depression are eligible for TMS therapy, but not everyone can have the treatment. People with non-removable metal in their head or face could be disqualified because metal can react unfavorably with magnetic energy.

You may be ineligible if you have the following in your head:

• A medical device, such as a cochlear implant or a vagus or deep brain stimulator
• Bullets or shrapnel
• A tattoo on the head or face that uses metallic or magnetic ink

Some dental work (Most is fine.)
