Description
Join Fusion Academy and Dr. Nicholas Bryant to discuss:
How dTMS is Used in Mental Health
Dr Bryant will discuss the what dTMS is and how it can be used in treating mental health. dTMS uses an electromagnet, similar to what is used in an MRI scanner, to provide a medication-free, non-invasive treatment for depression and other brain disorders. The magnet is gently placed against the scalp and targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that is involved with mood regulation. This part of the brain is less active due to depression. As this magnetic field travels into the brain, it produces very small electrical currents activating neurons within the brain to release neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—the same neurotransmitters that are provided artificially through antidepressant medications. dTMS is able to provide these neurotransmitters directly to the brain, essentially solving the problem at the source with zero systemic side effects.
Bio: Dr. Bryant is a psychiatrist committed to providing quality mental health care for adults and children of all ages. Believing that mental health is the foundation for a happy and meaningful life, Dr. Bryant takes the time with each patient to understand his or her unique situation. He then creates a customized treatment plan which includes therapy, improved self-care (sleep, diet, and exercise), and medication if needed.
