It may be time to try something new.
Depression affects over 18 million people every year in the U.S. In 2017, Utah had the highest rates of depression in the country.
This may require us to search out different treatment options.
A landmark study on the effectiveness of antidepressants (STAR*D Study) showed that the likelihood of achieving remission from depression from antidepressants declined with each successive medication trial.
The crazy thing is...
Less than 30% of individuals achieved remission with their first medication.
By the fourth medication, only 7% were able to obtain remission from their depression.
Antidepressants, the most common depression treatment, have many potentially serious side effects, including suicidal thoughts and worse depressive symptoms.
All too often, we keep trying medication after medication instead of trying something new.
TMS is much more effective than medications and, unlike more invasive approaches like ECT, TMS does not require anesthesia or hospital stays.
Most people can easily fit the 20-minute treatment sessions into their busy lives.
You can drive yourself to and from the office and immediately return to all of your
normal activities following treatment.
So how does it work?...
By gently stimulating the areas of the brain that are underactive with depression, TMS increases the brain activity that is necessary to fight depression.
Our brains rely on very important chemicals called neurotransmitters to generate many of the functions that are essential to not be depressed or anxious.
Neurotransmitters, like serotonin and dopamine, carry messages across different parts of the brain.
Neurotransmitters are associated with many things, including attention and mood regulation.
Dopamine and serotonin are two neurotransmitters that are specifically associated with depression.
Dopamine makes you feel alert, focused, motivated, and happy.
Serotonin helps you sleep well, it helps your memory work well, it helps your sex life, and it helps you feel calm, relaxed, and happy.
No matter what you might try to do to fight your depression and anxiety, your brain has to have healthy levels of these neurotransmitters and they have to be circulating through your brain.
Healthy neurotransmitter functioning is essential!
