Medications are not necessarily for everyone. Many of our patients who present with major depressive disorder (MDD) do not achieve relief with antidepressant medications and ultimately struggle to achieve long-lasting comfort.
When you are an patient diagnosed with MDD, and you are looking for a safe, effective depression treatment without the common side effects of medication, you could be a candidate for NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy in Beaumont. One of our clinicians will help you understand your treatment options during a consultation.
NeuroStar is a non-surgical, non-medication transcranial electromagnetic stimulation treatment that is indicated for patients with major depression (with or without anxiety). Many patients with major depressive disorder may be candidates for NeuroStar TMS Therapy in Beaumont, especially when they have not achieved success with antidepressant medications.
While many patients are eligible, not every patient is a good candidate. NeuroStar is not indicated for people under 15 or women who are pregnant. It is also not recommended for people who have non-removable conductive metal or stimulator implants in or near their heads or people who have active or inactive implants, such as deep brain stimulators, cochlear implants, and vagus nerve stimulators.
If you are looking for another option to treat adolescent depression, you are not alone. Each year, nearly 1 in 5 US adolescents experience at least one major depressive episode. While the FDA has cleared NeuroStar Advanced Therapy for adolescents aged 15 to 18, most insurance companies, including Medicare, only currently cover patients aged 18 and above. If you or your child is 15 to 18 years old, we cannot guarantee your treatment will be covered by your insurance at this time, but we will work with you and your insurance company to get the treatment authorized for treatment. We will also keep you informed and updated on when more insurance companies begin covering the treatment for adolescents with depression.
Many of our patients have been unsuccessful in finding relief with medications, have switched medications several times, or have experienced adverse side effects from them, which has impacted their quality of life. Many patients turn to NeuroStar because they need an alternative treatment that is safe, effective, and non-invasive. Clinical trials have proven that NeuroStar TMS Therapy can help patients who were unsuccessful with traditional medication achieve long-lasting relief from their treatment-resistant depression symptoms.
We perform NeuroStar TMS Therapy at our Beaumont office during a seven-week treatment course that consists of weekly 20-minute sessions. While most patients achieve results after seven weeks, many have experienced relief and improved quality of life as early as after their first or second week of treatment. Successful NeuroStar TMS Therapy candidates have reported experiencing an elevated mood that has reduced their number of depression days as well as an increased desire for socialization.
When your medication is not helping you battle depression, alternative treatment options are available. NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy is a proven treatment solution for patients who present with MDD or MDD with anxiety who have not achieved relief with standard medication. NeuroStar has demonstrated its ability to provide long-lasting relief without the common side effects of medications. In real world outcomes, 83% of patients experience an improvement in the severity of their depression, with 62% of patients showing complete remission.
With only seven weeks of treatment, you could experience relief from your mental health symptoms and dramatically improve your quality of life.
