TMS vs. Antidepressants (SSRIs): What’s the Difference?

Both aim to relieve depression—but they work very differently.

💊 SSRIs increase serotonin levels throughout the brain.
🧠 TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to activate the specific brain circuits that regulate mood—especially the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which is often underactive in depression.

Why more people are turning to TMS:

✅ No daily medication
✅ No systemic side effects
✅ Non-invasive and FDA-cleared
✅ Covered by 97% of Michigan insurance plans after 2+ failed medications

If medications haven’t worked, it’s not the end of the road.
There’s a new way forward—with TMS.

🧠Who can benefit from TMS therapy?

If you or someone you love is struggling with their mental health or chronic pain, TMS might be the breakthrough you've been looking for.
Here are four groups of people who may benefit from TMS:

✅ Individuals with treatment-resistant depression
TMS is often recommended when antidepressants haven’t provided relief or caused difficult side effects.

✅ People seeking a drug-free alternative. TMS doesn’t involve medication, making it ideal for those sensitive to pharmaceuticals or looking to avoid long-term medication use.

✅ Those experiencing anxiety or OCD
TMS is FDA-approved for OCD and is also used off-label to support those with anxiety disorders.

✅ Anyone seeking a safe, non-invasive option

TMS is done in-office, requires no anesthesia or downtime, and patients can return to daily activities right after each session. We have treated over 370 patients at our clinic, and we see an astounding 92% response rate.

✨ You don’t have to navigate mental health challenges alone. TMS could be a powerful step forward in your journey to wellness. Reach out today to see if it’s right for you.

Can Transcranial Magnetic Brain Stimulation Therapy Help with Autism?
🧠✨ New exciting research

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is showing promising results as a non-invasive therapy for individuals on the autism spectrum (ASD).
Studies have found that targeting key areas of the brain—like the prefrontal cortex or right temporoparietal junction—may help improve:
✅ Social communication
✅ Language skills
✅ Cognitive flexibility

While rTMS is not a cure, it could be a powerful tool to help improve quality of life and social participation for some individuals with ASD. And the best part? It’s safe, well-tolerated, and completely medication-free.

Could TMS Help Slow Alzheimer’s Disease?
🧠✨ New research shows promising results!

A recent study found that repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) may improve memory and cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers observed that stimulating specific areas of the brain helped:
✅ Improve short-term memory
✅ Boost attention and thinking speed
✅ Reduce brain inflammation

This could be a game-changer for individuals in the early stages of Alzheimer’s or those noticing cognitive decline.

At BrainStim TMS, we’re using innovative, non-invasive approaches like TMS that could improve brain health and quality of life.

Can TMS Help with Post-Traumatic Headaches?
🧠✨

Exciting new research shows that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — already a powerful tool for depression — may also relieve stubborn headaches after a traumatic brain injury (TBI)!

When TMS is targeted to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), patients experienced:
✅ Less headache pain
✅ Shorter headache episodes
✅ Better mood & reduced anxiety

This could be a total game-changer for anyone dealing with the lasting effects of TBI.
