TMS Therapy
In Grand Prairie, TX
At Reliant Family Psychiatry, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy as an innovative treatment for major depressive disorder. This advanced, non-invasive therapy provides a new path to wellness for those who have not found success with traditional treatments. Our dedicated team is committed to delivering personalized care in a supportive environment, helping you navigate your journey to improved mental health.
What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. The treatment targets specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Because it is not a medication and is non-systemic, it represents a different approach to managing mental health conditions.
Your TMS Therapy Journey
Initial Consultation and Brain Mapping
Your first visit involves a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to confirm that TMS is right for you. We may use our BrainView Neuralscan technology to map your brain’s unique activity, allowing us to precisely identify the optimal location for treatment.
During Your TMS Session
During each session, you will be comfortably seated in a chair while a small magnetic coil is placed against your scalp. The device will deliver gentle magnetic pulses, and you will hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head. You will be awake and alert throughout the entire process.
Treatment Course and Frequency
A standard course of tms therapy typically involves sessions five days a week for several weeks. Each session lasts approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Your specific treatment plan will be customized based on your individual needs and response to the therapy.
After Your Session
Since TMS is non-invasive and requires no anesthesia, there is no recovery time needed after a session. You can immediately return to your normal daily activities, including driving, working, or attending school, right after your appointment.
