Title:

Magnet Therapy For Depression

My father was big on the use of magnets for his headaches and other pains.  He would cut out the magnets from refrigerator doors and wear it like a head band. He would also make bracelets too.  Now, the fact is that the strength of the magnets he was using might have done very little other then make him look a bit strange but he was on to something.  He always said that in the future magnets would play a huge part in our lives… That was back in the early 80’s and well, if Dad was with us today I’m sure he would be the first to tell us he was right.

Today, magnets are used for many different things and even depression:

Depression can now be treated by a magnet. It’s called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, and it’s the first non-invasive brain simulator approved to treat the disease. It works by sending pulses though the skull that spark brain cells to fire, but TMS is only approved for patients who have had no relief from their first antidepressant. 

The following are some questions you might have about TMS and they can be answered by following the link.

What is rTMS?

What disorders has TMS been shown to be useful for?

What does it feel like to receive TMS?

Do you need to get anesthetized for TMS?

Does it hurt?

How long does a treatment session last?

How many times do you need to receive TMS?

Are there any side-effects or risks associated with rTMS?

Is TMS widely available to patients in the U.S.?Why are researchers evaluating TMS?
