Real Hope for Depression When Medications Fail
At North Country Behavioral Medicine, we recognize that standard medications and talk therapy do not always achieve our ultimate goal of remission.
TMS is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, the FDA, and many international medical societies as the premier next step when traditional treatments fall short. As the exclusive provider unique to our area offering this advanced care, North Country TMS offers a streamlined process to get you evaluated and started quickly. Our dedicated staff will rapidly secure your appointment, verify your health insurance benefits, and submit all necessary paperwork on your behalf.
When clinical trials were conducted by the National Institute of Mental Health and leading device manufacturers, patients with severe, treatment-resistant depression saw historic breakthroughs. Even when tested on patients who received only TMS without any accompanying medications:
- Over 50% of patients cut their depressive symptoms completely in half.
- Up to 33% of patients achieved a state of complete remission (total removal of all symptoms.
Clinical research trials purposely eliminate outside factors to measure a device exactly. However, in real-world psychiatric practices like ours, the success rates are substantially higher.
Data from everyday clinical practices shows that TMS therapy achieves over a 70% success rate in relieving major depressive symptoms, with over a 50% total remission rate. This powerful real-world increase occurs because we intentionally combine the technological benefits of TMS with your current medications and supportive talk therapies, creating a highly effective, synergistic path to lasting wellness.
