Sample Solution
Treatment used to treat mental illness
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. TMS is typically used when other depression treatments have not been effective. This treatment for depression involves delivering repetitive magnetic pulses, so it is called repetitive TMS or rTMS. During an rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near your forehead. The electromagnetic painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. It is thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression.
