At North Idaho TMS & Brain Center, we are the depression specialists
Depression is a mood disorder that makes you sad, but it is different than normal sadness. Depression can make it hard for you to work, study, or do everyday tasks.
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are caused by problems with “neurotransmitters.” These are chemicals in the brain that can affect your emotions. Treatments for mood disorders seem to work by changing the levels of certain neurotransmitters.
Depressed people feel down most of the time for at least 2 weeks. They also have at least 1 of these 2 symptoms:
●They no longer enjoy or care about doing the things they used to like to do.
●They feel sad, down, hopeless, or cranky most of the day, almost every day.
●Lose or gain weight
●Sleep too much or too little
●Feel tired or like you have no energy
●Feel guilty or like you are worth nothing
●Forget things or feel confused
●Move and speak more slowly than usual
●Act restless or have trouble staying still
●Think about death or suicide
There are multiple ways to treat depression including medications, counseling (with a psychiatrist, psychologist, nurse, or social worker), and TMS therapy.
At North Idaho TMS & Brain Center, we use a device that passes magnetic waves or electricity into the mood center of the brain to stimulate and awaken your brain.
