For some, the traditional methods for treating depression work.

For others, their symptoms need a little extra support. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive way to treat the symptoms of depression and other disorders. TMS uses precise electromagnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain affected by depression.

Painless and with nearly no downtime afterwards, TMS is proven, effective and easy. Our team at AwakeningsKC will help you through the entire process, from answering your questions about insurance to your first TMS session.

Here’s the difference between the blues and depression: Depression lasts.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective and evidence-based way to treat the symptoms of depression and other disorders that don’t respond to traditional forms of treatment.

Best of all, TMS is non-invasive, requires little recovery time and doesn’t require anesthesia. Many insurance plans cover the cost of TMS services, too.

Fall’s here. Is this why you’re feeling sad, tired and hopeless?

You might be experiencing seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It’s a mood disorder that seems to be related to seasonal changes…like summer turning into fall. While its exact cause is unknown, researchers believe it can involve a change in the amount of daylight, individual serotonin levels and more.

Like other forms of depression, SAD doesn’t always respond to traditional methods of treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, is a proven, effective way to treat SAD when other methods haven’t worked. Non-invasive and with no recovery time, TMS will put you back in control of your life.

AwakeningsKC is the premier provider of TMS in the Kansas City area. To learn more about how TMS can free you from mood disorders and more, check out the following link: https://hubs.la/Q03L1w4X0

The symptoms of treatment-resistant depression include:

✔️ Feelings of sadness, emptiness and hopelessness
✔️ Weight changes
✔️ A loss of interest in things you used to enjoy
✔️ Mood swings
✔️ Difficulty concentrating
✔️ Aches & pains

And more.

Worse, sometimes these symptoms don’t seem to respond to treatment. Studies cited by the National Institute of Health estimate that around 30% of people who receive treatment for depression struggle with treatment-resistant depression.

But hope is within reach.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a proven, non-invasive and drug-free way to manage treatment-resistant depression. AwakeningsKC is a leading provider of TMS in the Kansas City area.

The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) warns that one person dies from su***de every 11 minutes. Su***de is unfortunately one of the leading causes of death in the US…and it’s also one of the most preventable.

September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day. This is our opportunity to help someone save their own life. Consider checking in with your friends, family…and even yourself.

Depression often comes with a higher risk of su***de. If you’re struggling with depression, particularly if it’s not responding to your usual treatment, consider transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS has helped countless people and can make a difference in your life as well. Check out the following link to learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q03FpvRS0
