MedPsych Integrated - Cary, located at 1110 SE Cary Pkwy #207, Cary, NC 27518, is dedicated to providing advanced mental healthcare solutions right here in our community. We specialize in offering evidence-based treatments focused on improving the lives of our patients struggling with depression and other mental health conditions.
At our Cary location, we utilize state-of-the-art technology to provide Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. TMS is a non-invasive treatment option designed for individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who may not have found sufficient relief with traditional antidepressant medications or therapy alone.
What is TMS Therapy?
TMS therapy is a breakthrough treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in depression. Unlike older forms of brain stimulation like ECT, TMS does not require anesthesia or involve any surgical incisions. The procedure is typically well-tolerated and performed while the patient is awake and alert.
How Does TMS Work?
During a TMS session, our trained technicians will position a device over your scalp. This device generates focused magnetic pulses that gently stimulate nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain often underactive in individuals experiencing depression.
Patients often describe the sensation as a tapping or clicking feeling on the head. The treatment itself takes place in our Cary office, usually requiring multiple sessions per day, five days a week, over a period of several weeks.
