It’s no secret that domestic violence can have a devastating effect on survivors. Depression, anxiety, and PTSD are just some conditions that can result from exposure to this type of trauma. In some cases, these symptoms can be so severe that they are debilitating. Until recently, few treatment options were available for those affected by domestic violence. However, new research suggests that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may be a possible solution for these individuals.
Did you know, More than 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and more than 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the U.S. will experience rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime?
TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate the brain. This stimulation can help to improve mood and alleviate symptoms of depression. TMS is particularly effective in treating patients who have not responded well to traditional forms of treatment, such as medication or therapy.
Research demonstrates that TMS therapy is an effective PTSD treatment. That makes TMS for PTSD a promising alternative to other failed therapy forms. TMS therapy may not completely eliminate your PTSD, but it can help reduce your symptoms and make them more manageable.
When Will I See the Results?
Patients see results at different times, depending on individual factors, such as how severe their PTSD symptoms are and how long they’ve had PTSD. Many patients experience beneficial effects in just a couple of weeks. For others, the treatment can work even sooner.
There is still more research to be done to determine whether or not TMS is an effective treatment for domestic violence survivors. However, the preliminary results are promising. If further studies confirm the efficacy of this treatment, it could provide hope for many individuals struggling to live with the aftermath of domestic violence.
Domestic violence can leave survivors feeling hopeless and helpless. For many people, traditional forms of treatment have not been effective.

This non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure shows promise in treating symptoms of depression and anxiety. While more research needs to be done, TMS could provide a much-needed lifeline for those struggling to
cope with the aftermath of domestic violence.
