When you are living with depression or another mental health condition, it can feel as though your options are limited. You may have tried medications, lifestyle changes, or therapy, but found they do not give you the relief you need. This can leave you feeling discouraged, especially if the side effects of medications are difficult to manage or you do not feel like yourself anymore.
There is still hope for you. Personalized repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or PrTMS® therapy, offers a different path forward when other treatments do not work. Many people who pursue this treatment find meaningful improvement in their symptoms. If you have one of the conditions treated by Rocklin PrTMS® Therapy, you may be encouraged to know this approach is helping people reclaim their lives when standard treatments fall short.
TMS therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that directly stimulates the areas of your brain that control mood. During a PrTMS® session, you sit comfortably while a small device is placed near your head. This device delivers magnetic pulses that target the parts of the brain involved in mood and emotion.
Unlike medications, TMS therapy does not circulate through your bloodstream, so you avoid many of the side effects linked to antidepressants, including:
This convenience is part of why many people in Rocklin are exploring what conditions are treated by PrTMS®, and find it to be a hopeful and practical option.
At Beautiful Minds Medical, your treatment plan will always be personalized. We focus on building a plan for your needs based on the condition you are struggling with. PrTMS® could provide meaningful benefits to patients in Rocklin for common conditions that include the following.
Depression is the most common reason people seek out TMS therapy. If you struggle with sadness, low energy, lack of motivation, or a sense of hopelessness, TMS may help by directly stimulating the parts of the brain that regulate mood in a way that traditional medication has not.
Emerging studies suggest that TMS therapy may help reduce symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and other anxiety-related conditions. By calming overactive areas of the brain linked to worry and tension, PrTMS® has the potential to restore balance and reduce daily stress.
TMS can also treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This condition can feel overwhelming when unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors take over your life. TMS has been shown to reduce OCD symptoms by targeting specific brain regions involved in compulsive thought patterns.
When you feel as though you have run out of options, it can be hard to keep going. The good news is you still have hope with therapies like TMS. By directly targeting the parts of the brain linked to mood and behavior, PrTMS® is giving people renewed hope when standard treatments have failed.

Important Safety Information
The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site.
