Apollo uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to activate parts of the brain that are underactive in patients experiencing depression. TMS therapy is not the same as ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).
The exact cause of depression is still undetermined. However, the leading scientific theory is that depression is triggered by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain, which are chemical messengers that deliver information between brain cells.
People of all ages are susceptible to depression, and it can come in many different forms: major depression, dysthymia, post-partum depression, minor depression, as well as sadness brought on by seasonal changes. Depression can also affect different ethnicities differently. Visit us in Dallas to discuss Apollo Advanced TMS therapy.
During a Apollo treatment session in Dallas, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brain’s neurotransmitter levels, making long-term remission possible.
