It works by using magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, helping to restore normal activity patterns. TMS most commonly targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region that tends to be underactive in depression. Stimulating this area can improve communication within mood-related networks of the brain, including connections to the limbic system, which governs emotional processing. In some cases, the right DLPFC may be targeted to reduce overactivity associated with negative emotional bias. Over several sessions, this controlled stimulation can lead to improved mood, energy, and cognitive function, offering new hope for patients who haven\u2019t found relief through traditional antidepressant treatments. #mentalhealth #depression #anxiety<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sources &#8211;
