If you experience treatment-resistant depression and other select mental health conditions, and if you have not found success with medication, therapy, or other treatments, TMS therapy might be right for you. If you are considering this transformative treatment from the specialists at Genesis TMS and Wellness, you might be wondering how long it takes before TMS therapy starts to work.
We understand how important it is for our patients to know when they can expect their TMS results. We will discuss how long it might take for patients to experience the many positive benefits that our TMS therapy has to offer.
Our TMS treatment is delivered in a rapidly delivered treatment program which typically lasts a few weeks to a few months, depending on the nature and severity of your symptoms. Each program is unique and customized to the needs of the patient as an individual. Most patients can expect to start feeling results at the end of their treatment period—but some can experience their results much sooner.
One of the most common questions our patients ask our mental health specialists at Genesis is “How long does it take before my TMS therapy treatments start to work?” We understand how important this is for our patients: many of them seek this out because their mental health condition is resistant to medication and other therapies, so it makes sense they are hoping for a treatment that offers rapid results.
While patients usually experience symptomatic relief at the end of the TMS treatment course (which tend to last about seven weeks) some of our patients begin experiencing positive changes much earlier on—even after the first or second treatment session. Even if you personally experience positive benefits early on, we strongly recommend that you complete the full treatment course as directed, to achieve long-lasting, enduring results.
Another reason why it is so important to complete the TMS course in its entirety is that TMS treatment is designed to be progressive. This means that the results of the treatment are cumulative, and each session builds upon the last. This is important as TMS gradually stimulates the brain’s neural pathways over time to develop sustainable and long-lasting positive changes in mood and behavior. Therefore, it is essential to commit to the entire TMS treatment plan for the most optimal benefits.
If you’re experiencing depression or any other mental health conditions, you are not alone. At Genesis TMS and Wellness, we aim to offer a supportive, caring environment to help our patients experience relief from their mental health symptoms quickly and safely. We know how important your time is and that you want your TMS therapy to work as quickly as possible. We try to get you started on your treatment as soon as possible—it just takes one consultation to help get you started.
