Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is primarily used to treat conditions like depression and anxiety by targeting specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. During the treatment, a device placed on the scalp delivers brief magnetic pulses, which can help improve symptoms in some patients. TMS is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as mild headache or discomfort at the stimulation site. It is often used when other treatments, like medication or therapy, have not been effective. Sessions typically last about 30 to 40 minutes and may be repeated several times a week.
