PTSD
PTSD, or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, can happen when someone goes through a really scary or traumatic event. It’s not merely feeling shaken up for a bit; it’s when the stress and anxiety from that event stick around for months or years and start affecting daily life.
​
People with PTSD often have flashbacks or nightmares about what happened, and it feels super real, like they’re reliving it. They might also try to avoid anything that reminds them of the trauma, which makes it hard to go about their normal routine. You’ll often see them being really on edge, too. They’ll be jumpy, easily irritated, or have difficulty sleeping.​
PTSD & TMS
When someone has PTSD, certain parts of their brain, especially those involved in fear and emotional regulation, might be a bit out of rythm. TMS steps in as a reset button.
​
TMS uses non-invasive magnetic fields to stimulate these specific parts of the brain. It’s like gently prodding the brain to start reworking those circuits that got disrupted by the traumatic experience. Think of it as a way to help the brain help itself, encouraging it to adopt healthier patterns of activity.
