TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain that are involved in regulating mood. TMS is typically administrated as a series of sessions over several weeks. TMS has fewer side effects than antidepressants and does not require the use of medication. TMS has been shown to be effective in treating depression, particularly in those who have not responded well to other treatments/medications.
In general, the choice between TMS and antidepressants will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of depression, individual response to treatment, and other medical or personal considerations. It is important to discuss treatment options with a doctor who can help determine the most appropriate approach for your individual needs.
