TMS vs Medication

  • TMS can be a viable option for individuals who don't respond well to medication or for those who experience intolerable side effects from antidepressants.
  • While medications affect the brain chemically, TMS uses magnetic fields to directly stimulate brain activity, which can provide relief in cases of treatment-resistant depression without the systemic side effects of drugs.

Pros

  • Antidepressants, such as SSRIs or SNRIs, are widely used for treating depression and anxiety disorders.
  • They help regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, which influence mood and emotions.

Cons

  • Side effects of medication can be significant (e.g., weight gain, sexual dysfunction, drowsiness, nausea).
  • It may take several weeks to feel the effects of medication.
  • Some patients do not respond well to medications, or they may not experience relief at all.
