The Role of TMS Therapy in Treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
As the days grow shorter and the temperature drops, many people feel a dip in mood and energy, commonly known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). For some, this seasonal shift brings symptoms that impact daily life. TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy at Countryside Neurology offers a non-invasive option to relieve SAD symptoms and provide a path to brighter days.
What is SAD, and Why Does it Happen?
SAD is a type of depression triggered by changes in daylight, affecting mood, sleep, and even energy levels. Reduced sunlight in fall and winter months can disrupt the body’s natural rhythms, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disruption, and low mood.
How TMS Therapy Helps
TMS therapy uses magnetic fields to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. At Countryside Neurology, we focus on individual patient needs, targeting the specific brain areas that can restore mood balance.
- Non-Invasive and Effective: TMS is an outpatient procedure, with sessions taking around 20 minutes. Many patients report an improvement after just a few weeks.
- Personalized Treatment: We tailor TMS therapy based on your symptoms and response, ensuring you get the most effective care.
If seasonal shifts are affecting your well-being, TMS therapy may be an option. Reach out today for more information.
