TMS of the Carolinas proudly serves the residents of Raleigh from our dedicated center located at 7780 Brier Creek Pkwy Ste 300, Raleigh, NC 27617. We specialize in providing advanced transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression and other specific conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough treatment for depression and other conditions. Using focused magnetic fields, TMS gently stimulates nerve cells in the brain's treatment areas that may not be firing properly. This targeted approach helps improve symptoms without the need for surgery, anesthesia, or invasive procedures like ECT.
How TMS Can Help
At our Raleigh location, we utilize TMS therapy to offer hope to individuals who have not found sufficient relief with traditional antidepressant medications. TMS is particularly effective for those experiencing:
• Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Sleep disturbances
• Fatigue or low energy
• Difficulty concentrating or indecisiveness
• Thoughts of death or suicide
