Breaking the Chains of Depression: A Journey with Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS)

Unveiling the shadows of depression. 

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it's an overwhelming darkness that engulfs the soul. By unraveling the complexities of depression, including the biochemical and metabolic with the pathway abnormalities that accompany it we can understand the enemy and defeat it. Depression often carries a heavy stigma, preventing many from seeking help. We must all realize that the brain is simply an organ that can get sick or out of balance just like the heart or digestion. By looking at the brain as an organ as we do in neurology, we are able to approach the condition of depression in a totally new light. 

The science behind dTMS

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation might sound like a term from a sci-fi novel, it is actually a revolutionary therapy that's transforming the landscape of mental health treatment. We know how the brain gets out of balance but until dTMS we did not have a tool to bring the brain back into balance. Deep TMS actually stimulates the areas of the brain that have become weak due to various trauma over time. When these areas are strengthened and the brain in nourished properly, we get the amazing results that you have read about. 

Beyond dTMS treatment

Because the brain depends on all aspects of the body's metabolism, it is critical that the body is fully balanced back to normal. This is why we do so many lab test as we explore the possibility of defeciencies that affect the way the brain can work. For example, everyone knows how hormones can affect how we think. Men and women alike are affected by hormone imbalances which includes thyroid and sexual hormones.
