The Delray Center for Healing offers transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS) as part of our suite of state-of-the-art mental health treatments. Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy is a breakthrough technology that treats mental health conditions that do not respond to conventional psychiatric treatments, such as medication or talk therapy. TMS is a safe, painless, and noninvasive outpatient treatment that stimulates healthy brain activity and reduces the long-term symptoms of many mental health disorders.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a safe outpatient treatment that uses repetitive magnetic pulses to stimulate neural activity in specific parts of the brain adversely affected by mental health problems such as major depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). All TMS treatments begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation by a certified TMS psychiatrist at the Delray Center. If an individual is a candidate for this therapy, an initial brain mapping is done to determine the specific part of the brain to be targeted by the therapy. TMS sessions are short, painless treatments that can be done on a completely outpatient basis, without the need for inpatient hospitalization. During a session, patients receive a series of rapid magnetic pulses that penetrate deep into the brain. These magnetic pulses stimulate activity in the neural axons, improving brain functions such as mood control, and help the brain to return to a normal, healthy level of functionality.
The Delray Center is a proud provider of Brainsway deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) technology. Deep TMS is the latest form of transcranial magnetic stimulation, and is more effective than earlier versions of the technology. The magnetic pulses in dTMS stimulate a larger portion of the brain, as well as penetrate deeper into the brain, enhancing the overall effect and improving long-term successful outcomes.
If you have been struggling with a mood disorder like depression or OCD, and medications are not working, you may be a candidate for transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy. Treatment begins by scheduling an assessment with a psychiatrist to determine if TMS therapy is right for you. The Delray Center for Brain Science, our TMS and neurofeedback clinic and part of the Delray Center family of mental health centers, offers treatment throughout the week to fit your everyday lives.
