Our mission at Broadleaf Behavioral Health is to help patients realize the best quality of life that is possible for them. We work together with patients by providing treatments and recommendations to achieve lasting improvement in their lives, and celebrate with them when we attain that goal.
We provide patients in Cumberland County and the surrounding area of Southern Maine the latest in treatments for a wide range of psychiatric disorders. We also offer TMS for patients who suffer from treatment-resistant depression.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
Non invasive and non systemic. The only side effect is the possible minor irritation of the scalp.
A typical treatment course consists of 5 treatments per week over a 4-6 week period.
Each treatments typically lasts between 19-37 minutes. The variation depends on your diagnosis.
You will be fully awake and alert. You can read or watch TV and return to work after your treatment with no restrictions.
