A New Dawn in Depression Treatment: Introducing TMS at Hopewell Health Solutions

Depression can feel like a heavy blanket that smothers the joy out of life's simple pleasures. For some, the journey to recovery isn't straightforward, especially when traditional treatments don’t bring the relief they hope for. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a groundbreaking treatment option at Hopewell Health Solutions—Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), provided by NeuroStar.

Imagine waking up one day to find that the weight has been lifted, allowing you to breathe and live more freely. That’s the hope TMS offers to those struggling with treatment-resistant depression. But what exactly is TMS, and who can benefit from it? Let's break it down in simple terms.

What is TMS?

TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It’s not as scary as it sounds, I promise! The idea is to activate areas of the brain that have decreased activity due to depression. You’ll sit comfortably in a chair, and a small device from NeuroStar, often described as looking like a paddle, gently rests on your head. This device then produces a magnetic pulse that feels like a gentle tap, lasting for about 30 minutes. Who is Eligible for TMS? We’ve seen many come through our doors feeling disheartened after trying multiple antidepressants without success. If this sounds like you, and you’re aged 15 or older, TMS could be the next step. Eligibility for this treatment at our practice includes individuals who have tried at least two antidepressants without adequate relief. It’s about giving hope and another option to those who feel they've run out of alternatives.

What to Expect from a TMS Session

Our TMS sessions are designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine. They last about 30 minutes and are scheduled five days a week. This consistency is key to the treatment’s success. Most of our clients go through a treatment phase of about 4-6 weeks, depending on their individual response.

Here’s what one of our clients, Alex, had to say about their experience: “At first, I was skeptical. Another treatment? But after the second week, I noticed a change that I hadn’t felt with any medication: a lightness, like a part of me was waking up from a long sleep.”
