TMS therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and antidepressants are both widely used for treating depression, but they come with different side effect profiles. While antidepressants have long been a common choice, they often present a range of systemic side effects, from weight gain and drowsiness to sexual disorders.
TMS therapy is a non-invasive treatment that generally has fewer and milder side effects, such as mild headaches or scalp discomfort. These differences are essential for patients exploring the most suitable treatment options for their needs.
