Addiction and binge eating can have a significant impact on an individual’s physical health, emotional well-being, and relationships. Finding effective treatments to manage these complex conditions is crucial for improving quality of life and promoting recovery. At Countryside Neurology, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy as an innovative approach to treat addiction and binge eating.

Understanding TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. By targeting specific areas associated with mood regulation, TMS can help reduce cravings and manage symptoms of addiction and binge eating. The procedure is FDA-approved for treating conditions like depression and has shown promising results for various other disorders, including addiction and binge eating.

How TMS Therapy Helps with Addiction and Binge Eating

TMS therapy offers a new approach to treating addiction and binge eating by targeting the brain’s reward centers. By influencing brain activity in these areas, TMS can help:

  • Reduce Cravings: TMS therapy can lower the brain’s craving response, making it easier for individuals to resist addictive behaviors or compulsive eating.
  • Restore Balance: By stimulating certain regions of the brain, TMS therapy helps restore chemical balance, reducing the desire for substances or binge eating.
  • Improve Mood: TMS therapy is known for its positive effects on mood and can help reduce anxiety and depression, which often accompany addiction and binge eating.

What to Expect During TMS Therapy

At Countryside Neurology, we create a personalized TMS therapy plan for each patient. The treatment involves placing a coil over the scalp, which delivers magnetic pulses to specific brain regions. Each session lasts around 30-40 minutes, and patients typically undergo 20-30 sessions over several weeks.

During the treatment, patients remain awake and alert, with minimal discomfort. Many people can resume their normal activities immediately after a session, making TMS therapy a convenient and flexible treatment option.
