Neurofeedback and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) are two treatments offered by PsyFi TMS. While both of these treatments are used to treat various neurological and psychiatric disorders, there is a distinct difference between them. In this blog post, we will be giving an overview of Neurofeedback versus TMS and how each can help in treating mental health concerns.
Neurofeedback, or EEG (electroencephalography) biofeedback, is a type of treatment used to help people with conditions like anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. It works by monitoring the brain’s electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp and then providing feedback in the form of visual or auditory rewards when certain patterns are detected. The aim of this process is to retrain the brain to regulate itself more efficiently.
TMS, on the other hand, is a non-invasive form of treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with certain mental health issues. The benefits of TMS are thought to come from stimulating targeted areas in the brain and making them more active or reducing their activity. TMS is FDA-approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder and is often used as an alternative to medication when other treatments have not been successful.
In terms of effectiveness, both Neurofeedback and TMS are known to be beneficial in the treatment of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, there is no single treatment that works for everyone. The best approach to treating mental health concerns depends on a variety of factors such as the type and severity of the condition, personal goals, and other medical conditions.
