Depression

Success with our integrated therapy for depression

Current studies show that our combination of psychotherapy and rTMS has successful results in 78 percent of patients. This makes it not only a suitable alternative for patients who do not respond well to antidepressants, but a consideration for all depressive patients.​ This method has few side effects and is a good alternative to medication.​

How do we treat depression?

neuroCare clinics combine classic psychotherapy with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), restoring network-connectivity in the brain. A pulsating magnetic field is generated in the area of the patient’s forehead with the help of a magnetic coil. These pulses stimulate  underlying brain regions. This normalizes  communication between specific brain regions involved in depression. One session lasts approximately 45 minutes and around 20 are required for a lasting effect.
