for Late-Life Depression
Southwest Brain Waves provides an effective FDA-cleared Deep TMS treatment for individuals suffering from episodes of Late-Life Depression. Our treatment uses a unique approach that targets neural activity through a magnetic field pulse. Older individuals who are often the most affected by Major Depressive Disorder can breathe a sigh of relief when Deep TMS is used for treatment. Significant improvement has been observed in the quality of life of affected persons.
Deep TMS is a safe, convenient, and noninvasive treatment option with no reported side effects. Each session lasts around 20 minutes and has quick recovery times, making it a hassle-free and comfortable experience for patients.
Key Points to Note About Late-Life Depression
With a growing aging population in most countries, Late-Life Depression seems to be gaining popularity. The problem with this condition is that of under-diagnosis because its symptoms are sometimes confused with Dementia. Therefore, it’s important to increase awareness of this condition, enhance diagnostic methods, and provide better treatment for affected elderly people. This is where we come in as professionals at Southwest Brain Waves.
Late Life Depression Treatment
Deep TMS Treatment
At Southwest Brain Waves, our Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) employs advanced H-coils to target the inner brain regions. This is a different approach compared to traditional repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). New research shows the potential of Deep TMS in managing late-life depression in older adults.
Repetitive TMS Treatment
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive and safe treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate neural activity in specific regions of the brain. When administered daily over several weeks, it is effective in treating depression in older people.
