What Conditions Could TMS Therapy Treat?
TMS is indicated for the following conditions in adult patients:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Major depressive disorder with anxious depression
A medical professional at a clinic offering TMS therapy could answer any questions surrounding eligibility for treatment.
Major Depressive Disorder
MDD is one of the major causes of disability. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) patients with MDD must experience a depressed mood or decreased interest causing social or occupational impairment, along with four of the following symptoms:
- Lack of energy
- Appetite changes
- Suicidal thoughts
- Sleep disturbances
- Poor concentration
- Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
- Psychomotor retardation or agitation
- Persistently low or depressed mood or decreased interest in pleasurable activities
MDD is associated with abnormalities in brain structure and function, which could result in an imbalance of neurotransmitter levels.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD significantly interferes with daily living activities. Brain imaging studies have shown that people who present with OCD typically have differences in brain structure and function unique from those who do not have OCD. These patients typically have differences in brain areas that control behavior and emotional responses.
Major Depressive Disorder with Anxious Depression
According to research, up to 75 percent of patients with major depressive disorder also experience anxiety, which is known as having MDD with anxious depression. According to the DSM-5, patients with MDD with anxious depression experience:
- Feelings of tension
- Feelings of unusual restlessness
- Difficulty concentrating due to worry
- Fear that something awful will happen
Typically, MDD patients with anxious depression experience worse clinical outcomes, worse prognosis, poorer functioning, and poorer quality of life than other MDD patients.
How Does TMS Therapy Relieve Symptoms?
Patients with these conditions typically have differences in brain structure and function that result in lowered brain activity. Cohen & Associates State of the art precision TMS applies painless, non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation to enhance brain activity. Over time, TMS therapy trains the brain to enhance activity by itself, allowing a person to experience relief from symptoms.
When someone’s depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder medication is not offering any relief from conditions, TMS Therapy in Sarasota, which is not medicinal, could be a good treatment option.
