Health experts across the country agree: we are in the midst of a mental health pandemic and have good reason to believe that this mental health crisis will lead to increased cases of depression throughout the year.
Antidepressant outcomes to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are better when stimulation is serendipitously delivered to the prefrontal cortex.
For some people, medication for depression doesn’t work and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS is helpful for patients that have exhausted every other option.
rTMS treatment for Major Depressive Disorder MDD involves stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex which plays an important role in cognitive function and mood.
Non-invasive brain stimulation is gaining in importance as a treatment option along with psychotherapy and antidepressants in the treatment of depression.
