What Is Depression?
Depression is a serious medical condition that affects how you feel, think, and function. It’s more than sadness—it can interfere with work, relationships, sleep, appetite, and your ability to enjoy life. Symptoms may include:
- Persistent low mood
- Loss of interest or pleasure
- Fatigue and low energy
- Difficulty concentrating
- Thoughts of worthlessness or hopelessness
At Excel Psychiatry, we specialize in depression and anxiety treatment, offering a full range of solutions, including advanced therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
How TMS Works for Depression
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a safe, non-medication depression treatment that uses gentle, targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain linked to mood. It is a form of brain stimulation therapy that activates neural circuits to relieve depressive symptoms.
- Sessions last 20–40 minutes
- Treatment is usually done 5 days a week for 4–6 weeks
- No anesthesia, no downtime, return to normal activity after each visit
Unlike medications that affect your whole body, TMS for depression targets the brain directly, without side effects like weight gain, sedation, or sexual dysfunction.
