TMS for Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia, a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and disordered thinking, is often difficult to treat. Psychiatrists use anti-psychotic medications as the first line of treatment to help manage symptoms, but these drugs do not work for all patients. Even when medications are effective, like all psychiatric drugs, they come with a host of disabling side-effects that make prolonged use challenging. But other treatments may be on the horizon.
New research out of the University of Caen in France suggests that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may help people with schizophrenia better manage auditory verbal hallucinations.
Studies show that repetitive TMS may help reduce auditory hallucinations as well as other cognitive symptoms of associated schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Since schizophrenia medications can have many undesired side effects and often stopped working over a period, it is exciting that TMS may be able to provide a drug-free option to people who live with this condition.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
