The Power of Accelerated TMS

Accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) emerges as a powerful tool in combating severe depression and bipolar disorder.

It provides quick relief from depressive symptoms with significant results often visible within an average span of 2.6 days.

Decoding Mood Regulation

Mood regulation involves a sequence activation of different parts of the brain.

In healthy individuals, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex activates slightly before the cingulate cortex but this order is reversed in about 70% of depressed patients, potentially contributing to mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder.
