If you are struggling with your mental health, it can be difficult to find the motivation to begin treatment. If you have tried traditional methods without success, this can further feelings of hopelessness. If you are still searching for relief from depression and other mental health conditions, TMS Therapy may restore your hope for relief.
TMS Therapy is an advanced treatment that is clinically-proven to restore emotional balance and improve mood. Let’s take a look at the benefits of TMS Therapy.
What Is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
TMS Therapy, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is an innovative mental health treatment that is gaining popularity for its ability to offer long-awaited mental health symptom relief, such as mood regulation and emotional balance, for patients who have not had success with traditional methods.
TMS Therapy works by administering electromagnetic pulses through the scalp to reignite inactive synapses in regions of the brain involved in mood control. At Desert View Counseling and Consulting, TMS is delivered in a safe, comfortable outpatient setting by one of our board-certified psychiatry providers.
What Are The Benefits?
TMS Therapy is an innovative option for mental health treatment that is clinically-proven to improve mood and balance emotions, especially for those who have not had success with traditional methods. Here are some advantages of TMS treatment:

Is TMS Therapy Right For You?
Neurostar TMS Therapy is a great option for many seeking alternative relief from mental health symptoms. Like with any medical treatment, there are certain factors to consider before determining whether TMS Therapy is the best option for your mental health treatment.
Ideal candidates are motivated to treat their depression and will have flexibility in their schedule. This flexibility will allow them to meet the time commitment necessary to achieve successful results. A typical TMS treatment course includes 5 sessions per week for about 7 weeks. While your appointments will be quick and relatively easy to fit within a daily routine, it is important to be able to adhere to this schedule for optimal results.
Good candidates are generally in good health without uncontrolled medical conditions. Individuals with magnetic implanted devices, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants, may be ineligible for TMS treatment. Some conditions, including seizure disorders, require discussion with a provider to ensure safety before beginning TMS sessions.
The best way to know if TMS Therapy is right for you is by scheduling an initial visit with our team. Here, one of our board-certified psychiatry providers will meet with you to discuss your medical history, current state of health, and goals for treatment. Once we determine you are a candidate for this treatment, we can develop a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs.
