TMS

TMS is a noninvasive procedure the team uses to treat higher levels of depression, usually in adults over the age of 21. During treatment, your provider places a magnetic coil on your head and delivers magnetic pulses to specific areas of your brain. The magnetic pulses stimulate the nerve cells responsible for your mood to increase nerve activity and improve your depression symptoms.

OPA Behavioral Health uses the FDA-cleared NeuroStar® device for TMS therapy Orlando Florida. The treatment is insurance-based. For individuals who have not found success with traditional depression treatments, TMS therapy Orlando Florida offers a promising alternative.

The team specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of depression and also offers a medication management program. Depending on your treatment history, the team may first recommend therapy and medication for your depression before offering TMS therapy Ocoee Florida. A detailed consultation with our psychiatrists will determine your eligibility for TMS therapy Ocoee Florida, ensuring it's the right approach for those with persistent, high-level depression unresponsive to other treatments.

Your TMS therapy Lake Mary Florida treatment is a painless in-office procedure. Your first treatment session is usually the longest and may take about an hour. During your first visit, the team must determine the proper placement of the magnetic coil and your optimal treatment dose. Once you’re comfortably reclined in the TMS treatment chair, your provider places the magnetic coil on your head and delivers repetitive pulses of magnetic energy. You may feel and hear a tapping sensation during this process. To determine the best dose for your TMS therapy Kissimmee Florida treatment, your provider increases the magnetic energy delivered until it generates a twitching of your hand or fingers. After your initial TMS appointment, your provider has you return to the office for repeat sessions five days a week for 6-7 weeks. Placement of the magnetic coil and the dose of energy are adjusted based on your symptoms. In most cases, you should start to experience relief from your symptoms within a few weeks of starting treatment.
