The Standard TMS Treatment Protocol
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, involves a series of sessions based on clinical evidence for maximum benefit. Short, daily treatments cumulatively work towards improving symptoms of depression over several weeks.
Cumulative Effects of TMS on Brain Function
TMS functions by using magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity gradually, altering critical neurotransmitter levels and neural circuits over time. These neurophysiological changes build up with each session to produce the desired antidepressant effects.
Can A Single TMS Session Treat Depression?
Given the gradual impact of TMS on the brain, one session alone is generally insufficient to notice any significant improvement in depressive symptoms.
Personalized Treatment Plans for Optimal Outcomes
It’s important to remember that individual experiences with TMS can vary. A mental health professional is best equipped to create a tailored treatment plan based on your unique needs and health profile.
