If you struggle with depression that won’t go away, you know how isolating and hopeless it can feel. It may seem as though you’ve tried everything, and that you won’t ever get back to a happy, more hopeful place. You’re not alone. In fact, one in three people who suffer from depression will try several antidepressant medications without success.
The good news is that when medications and counseling haven’t worked well or even at all, brain stimulation – therapies that aim to change patterns of activity in the brain – can be highly effective. As recognized leaders in the field, the brain stimulation team at Atrium Health has the experience and tools to help.
We bring to the table a deep understanding of mood disorders, and how brain stimulation techniques can help our patients reclaim their lives and build a better future. Our dedicated team of board-certified physicians, registered nurses and certified technicians has the expertise and advanced training to perform innovative brain stimulation therapies, including both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and modern electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
We will partner with you and your mental health provider to decide which option is better for you, and to ensure these therapies are part of your complete care plan. Brain stimulation is often used in combination with other therapies, including:
