Is TMS Therapy A Good Alternative to Antidepressants?

Most doctors and psychiatrists agree that TMS Therapy is also a good alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects associated with antidepressant medications or do not wish to take them. Many patients suffer intolerable side effects to commonly used antidepressants, such as nausea, diarrhea, insomnia, sedation, lack of emotion, and sexual problems. TMS is non-systemic, so nothing enters your body or your bloodstream. That means that TMS is free of side effects typically associated with these medications. This also means that patients can immediately return to regular activity after TMS sessions.
