Depression affects millions of people globally, and finding the right treatment can be challenging. Traditionally, antidepressant medications have been the go-to option. However, many individuals either don't respond to medication or experience unwanted side effects. This is where Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a promising alternative.
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. It’s FDA-approved and typically recommended for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike medication, TMS does not involve systemic chemicals, which means fewer side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction.
On the other hand, medication may still be effective for some, especially when combined with therapy. However, the trial-and-error process of finding the right drug can take months and often comes with frustrating side effects.
So, which is better? The answer depends on your unique health history and response to past treatments. TMS therapy is especially helpful for those who haven’t found relief through medication or want a drug-free alternative.
If you’re seeking the best TMS therapy, it’s essential to choose a provider who personalizes treatment and monitors progress closely. At Shifa Health, we offer expert-led TMS sessions designed to meet your individual needs and improve your quality of life.
