Braden Center Introduces Deep TMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression

The Braden Center in Sterling, IL has announced the addition of Deep TMS (Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to its mental health treatment offerings. This innovative, FDA-approved technology targets individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression (TRD), providing a new option for those who have not found relief through conventional therapies.

Understanding Deep TMS

Deep TMS is a non-invasive outpatient procedure that employs magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain regions associated with mood regulation and behavior. This treatment is particularly advantageous for patients who have not responded to traditional methods such as medication or psychotherapy.

A pivotal study published in World Psychiatry in 2015, conducted by Levkovitz et al., showcased the efficacy of Deep TMS. The study revealed a response rate of 75% and a remission rate of 51% among participants diagnosed with TRD. These impressive outcomes position Deep TMS as a promising alternative for individuals who may feel they have exhausted their treatment options.

Commitment to Compassionate Care

At the Braden Center, the mission has consistently been to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care. The introduction of Deep TMS aligns with this commitment, aiming to provide hope and healing to the community. The center encourages anyone struggling with depression, particularly those who have not benefited from traditional treatments, to explore this advanced therapy.

In addition to Deep TMS, the Braden Center also offers Spravato, the only FDA-approved medication specifically for treatment-resistant depression. This dual approach enhances the center’s capability to cater to diverse patient needs.

For those interested in learning more about Deep TMS or other mental health services, the Braden Center has available appointments with nurse practitioner Susan Lathe and counselor Nessa Little, with no waiting time.
