We all feel sad from time to time, but does that mean we have depression?
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Clinical Depression, is when someone experiences continued and intense feelings of sadness for two or more weeks and has changes in the way they function (weight loss or gain, loss of interest in activities, etc.). A doctor can diagnose MDD based on symptom criteria and symptoms.
What is TMS Therapy?
Cleared by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a treatment that uses MRI strength magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve, or sometimes even eliminate, the symptoms of depression.
Worldwide, millions of people have found relief with TMS Therapy.
