TMS therapy is an innovative approach for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. Using magnetic pulses, NeuroStar TMS stimulates specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. At Viking Psychiatry, we provide this advanced treatment to help patients in Fort Wayne manage their depression symptoms and improve their well-being.
Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, TMS therapy does not cause systemic side effects of medications such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or fatigue. This makes it an appealing option for those seeking an alternative treatment with minimal disruption to daily life.
The right provider makes all the difference in mental health care. At Viking Psychiatry, we take a compassionate and personalized approach to treatment, offering NeuroStar TMS Therapy as part of a comprehensive care plan. Our team is dedicated to helping individuals in Fort Wayne find lasting relief from depression through innovative, science-backed therapies.
NeuroStar TMS therapy targets the underactive prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain linked to depression. By delivering precise magnetic pulses, TMS helps restore normal brain activity and reduce depressive symptoms.
Each session takes place in a comfortable treatment setting, where patients remain awake and alert. The process is simple:
Most individuals undergo a full course of treatment over 7 weeks, with many noticing improvement within a few weeks.
For individuals in Fort Wayne experiencing persistent depression, NeuroStar TMS Therapy offers a non-invasive, medication-free treatment option. Some key benefits include:
For individuals who have tried multiple antidepressants without success, TMS therapy may provide an alternative path to symptom relief. Studies show that remission rates are significantly lower for patients who have taken three or more antidepressants (Results from the STAR*D study, medication attempts (n=4,041), Trivedi (2006), Am J Psychiatry | Rush (2006), Am J Psychiatry | Fava (2006), Am J Psychiatry | McGrath (2006), Am J Psychiatry).
TMS therapy is an option for individuals who have not found relief from multiple antidepressant medications. If you continue to experience depressive symptoms despite trying different treatments, Viking Psychiatry can provide a thorough evaluation to determine whether NeuroStar TMS Therapy is right for you.
This non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment may be particularly beneficial for those who have seen little to no improvement with medication, prefer a non-drug approach to managing depression, and are looking for an alternative with fewer systemic side effects.
