TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It is primarily used to treat major Depression, Anxiety Disorders, and other emotional conditions.

The right treatment depends on your diagnosis and individual needs. Our professionals will evaluate your condition and discuss the most appropriate options during your initial consultation.

Yes, TMS is a safe treatment approved by the FDA for major Depression and other disorders. Side effects are generally mild, such as temporary headaches or discomfort at the application site.

Each TMS session lasts approximately 20-25 minutes. Treatment is typically administered 5 days a week, with a total of 20-36 sessions depending on the patient’s needs

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. While TMS is most commonly used to treat conditions like Depression and Anxiety in adults, research is also exploring its potential benefits for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

TMS can help children with Autism by potentially improving brain function and connectivity, particularly in areas associated with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors, which are often challenges for individuals with ASD. By stimulating specific parts of the brain, TMS may help enhance neural activity, improving the child’s ability to engage socially, reduce repetitive behaviors, and manage other symptoms of Autism.

It’s important to note that TMS is still being researched for its effects on children with Autism, and it is not a standard treatment. However, some studies suggest it may offer a complementary approach to traditional therapies, improving overall quality of life for children with ASD.

No, Neurofeedback is not painful. It is a non-invasive therapy where sensors are placed on the scalp to measure brain activity while you follow a series of visual or auditory exercises. There are no side effects or discomfort.

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s response. Typically, 20 to 40 sessions are recommended for optimal results.

Neurofeedback is a type of therapy that helps train the brain to regulate its activity. It involves using sensors placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave patterns and provide real-time feedback to the individual, encouraging the brain to function in a more balanced and efficient way. For children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), neurofeedback can offer several potential benefits.

Children with autism often experience irregularities in brainwave patterns that may contribute to challenges like difficulties with social interaction, communication, attention, and emotional regulation. Neurofeedback aims to help correct these irregular patterns by guiding the brain to achieve more optimal brainwave activity.

Here’s how neurofeedback can help a child with autism:

1. Improved Attention and Focus: Neurofeedback can help a child with autism increase their ability to focus and pay attention, reducing distractions and improving cognitive functioning.

2. Regulating Emotions: Many children with autism struggle with emotional regulation, experiencing intense emotional reactions or outbursts. Neurofeedback can help train the brain to better manage emotions, leading to calmer and more stable behavior.

3. Enhancing Social Skills: Since social interaction can be difficult for children with autism, neurofeedback may support the brain in improving social engagement, making it easier for the child to interact with others.

4. Reducing Repetitive Behaviors: Repetitive behaviors, such as hand-flapping or repetitive speech, are common in autism. Neurofeedback may help reduce these behaviors by promoting more balanced brain activity.

5. Increasing Relaxation and Reducing Anxiety: Many children with autism experience anxiety. Neurofeedback can help the brain learn to relax and reduce feelings of anxiety, leading to a calmer, more comfortable state.

Yes, both treatments can be combined with Psychotherapy and other medical treatments. In fact, combining therapeutic approaches often improves outcomes.
