Understanding Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Freesia Health (rTMS)
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive, NICE-approved treatment for depression. It is FDA approved for Depression and other mental health conditions. It has a CE license in addiction rTMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation, especially when traditional therapies like medication and talk therapy have been insufficient. Freesia Health has integrated rTMS as part of its treatment offerings to provide patients with an alternative and effective option for managing symptoms of treatment-resistant depression and other conditions.
How rTMS Works
rTMS treatment involves placing a magnetic coil over the scalp near the area of the brain involved in mood regulation. The device delivers repetitive magnetic pulses that stimulate neural activity in the prefrontal cortex, an area often underactive in individuals with depression. These pulses help normalize brain activity, resulting in improved mood, reduced symptoms, and overall better mental health.
