TMS wakes up the "conductor" of the brain to restore normal thinking and feeling. Depression is like an orchestra without a conductor. The conductor organizes and harmonizes all the different instruments in the orchestra. Similarly, the "Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex" (The "DLPFC") is the "conductor" of the brain that harmonizes the various regions of the brain. Just like if the conductor of the orchestra is impaired in some way and the orchestra is off beat, so too with the brain. If the DLPFC is not working well, our brain can get stuck in a single way of thinking or feeling, grief or sadness, for instance. Like an old record with a scratch on it, or an old CD player that is skipping, the brain can get stuck in a "neural network" of depression or anxiety. If we wake up the conductor of the orchestra, they can harmonize the instruments to make beautiful music. If the DLPFC is stimulated, it can harmonize the brain, get it "unstuck" from depressive or anxious neural circuits and you can be free from depression and get your life back. You can be free to have any feeling and think any thought, not just depressive thoughts and feelings. TMS stimulates the DLPFC. It "wakes up" the conductor of your brain to free you from that stuck feeling of depression that just won't seem to go away. TMS works when medications fail. It is safe, FDA approved and without side effects. It is a true breakthrough in the care of depression.
