The definition of depression is “a mental health disorder characterized\u00a0by persistently\u00a0depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.” This is not a condition to be ignored. If you or someone you love has these symptoms, take action. If you have been on medications for a long time, and have not experienced significant improvement you should consider other highly successful treatments. TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an innovative treatment for unipolar depression using a magnetic field to stimulate the area of the brain that controls mood. It is extremely safe. Contemporary Care has helped more patients achieve success than any other practice. There are many upsides to TMS, including that there are no side effects that people often feel from medication. Research has shown no negative brain effects on concentration or memory. There is no need for anesthesia or sedation. You can drive yourself to and from the treatment. MDD is not something you can will yourself out of. You need professional help. It is not about your loved ones trying to cheer you up. This is a medical condition. Take it seriously. At\u00a0 Contemporary Care we offer TMS, Ketamine, Medication Management, and other therapies for support. Visit\u00a0www.contemporarycarecenters.com<\/a>\u00a0to view all our services. A complete evaluation will be done to be sure the best outcome for you is achieved. Both in person and Telehealth are offered. We focus on you and the best possible protocols\u00a0for helping you lead your best life. All major insurance is accepted including Medicare. Call today 203-792-0400. We welcome new patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
