Bipolar disorder is a challenging condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania and depression. At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach, CA, we offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a groundbreaking treatment to help manage and stabilize these mood fluctuations. TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, providing relief for those who have not found success with traditional treatments.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, involves significant changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These mood episodes can be intense and unpredictable, significantly affecting a person’s ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. The disorder typically presents with:
Managing bipolar disorder often requires a combination of medication and psychotherapy. However, some individuals do not respond adequately to these treatments, where TMS offers a promising alternative.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targets the brain’s prefrontal cortex, a region involved in mood regulation. By delivering magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates neural activity in this area, which can help stabilize mood swings and reduce the severity of both manic and depressive episodes.
The journey to mood stability with TMS at Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if TMS is suitable for your bipolar disorder. This initial consultation lets our team understand your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals.
We develop a personalized treatment plan once we confirm TMS as an appropriate treatment. TMS sessions typically last 20-40 minutes and are conducted five days a week for several weeks. During each session, you will sit comfortably while the TMS device delivers magnetic pulses to the targeted brain regions. There is no need for anesthesia, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after each session.
Our team will closely monitor your progress throughout the treatment process and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting relief from the symptoms of bipolar disorder.
