Braden Center Launches Deep TMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression

The Braden Center in Sterling, Illinois, has introduced BrainsWay’s Deep TMS (Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), a significant advancement in the treatment of treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This FDA-cleared technology provides a non-invasive, outpatient therapy aimed at stimulating specific areas of the brain that are essential for mood regulation and behavior.

Deep TMS offers a promising alternative for individuals who have not found relief through traditional treatments, such as medications or psychotherapy. A pivotal multi-center study published in World Psychiatry by Levkovitz et al. (2015) revealed a remarkable 75% response rate and a 51% remission rate among patients with TRD. These findings underscore the potential of Deep TMS as a vital therapeutic option for those who feel they have exhausted all other avenues.

Enhancing Mental Health Care

At the Braden Center, the mission has always been to provide compassionate, evidence-based care. The addition of Deep TMS aligns with this commitment, offering renewed hope and healing to the community. As many individuals struggle with the debilitating effects of depression, the center encourages those affected to consider this innovative therapy.

In conjunction with Deep TMS, the Braden Center also offers Spravato, the only FDA-approved medication specifically for treatment-resistant depression. This dual approach aims to address the diverse needs of patients seeking effective mental health solutions.

The Braden Center emphasizes accessibility, with immediate appointments available for consultations. Patients can meet with nurse practitioner Susan Lathe or counselor Nessa Little with no wait time, reflecting the center’s dedication to timely and responsive care.
