Who Is a Good Candidate for TMS Treatment?

At The Grove Comprehensive Psychiatry and Wellness, we are proud to offer innovative treatments that help our patients experience real, lasting relief from mental health challenges. One such option is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS. This non-invasive therapy is FDA-approved and has been helping individuals across Mesa, Arizona and the surrounding areas reclaim their lives from depression and other mood disorders.
 

What Is TMS?

TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain that are underactive in individuals experiencing depression and other conditions. Unlike medications, which affect the entire body, TMS targets the brain directly, minimizing side effects and offering a focused approach to symptom relief. Treatments are performed in-office and do not require anesthesia or downtime, making TMS a convenient option for many.
 

Who May Be a Good Candidate for TMS?

You may be a good candidate for TMS if you have treatment-resistant depression. Many individuals who benefit from TMS have not found relief through traditional antidepressants or therapy alone. If you have tried two or more medications without success, you may be considered to have treatment-resistant depression and could be an excellent fit for TMS.
 

TMS may also be right for you if you are looking for a drug-free alternative. Some patients either cannot tolerate the side effects of medication or prefer to avoid taking medication altogether. TMS provides a non-medication-based solution that stimulates the brain’s neural pathways naturally, helping to relieve symptoms without the need for daily pills.
 

Common side effects such as nausea, weight gain, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction can make medication difficult to manage. It may not be recommended for people with certain neurological conditions or those who have metal implants in or near the head. During your consultation, we will review your health history to ensure that TMS is a safe option for you.
 

Conditions TMS Can Help Treat

While most commonly used to treat Major Depressive Disorder, TMS is also showing promise for other conditions including:

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

• Bipolar Depression
