TMS treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) - second course

Smart TMS Edinburgh offers the second session of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an innovative and non-invasive treatment option for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This therapy employs targeted magnetic pulses directed towards specific brain regions, with the goal of enhancing mood.

How is TMS used to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

TMS therapy holds the potential to promote emotional stability and empower individuals to regain control over their emotions.

By targeting and reducing hyperactivity in the specific brain region responsible for triggering BPD symptoms, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation enhances mood.

Unlike medications that impact the entire brain, TMS selectively treats the brain circuits associated with the condition without introducing chemicals throughout the brain.

The treatment plan for BPD typically consists of 30 sessions, divided into two sets of 15 sessions. These sessions are spaced over a period of three to six weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes. In certain circumstances, patients may have the opportunity to receive multiple sessions in a day.

How effective is TMS in treating BPD?

The complexity of assessing and treating BPD is acknowledged by psychiatrists, which can leave patients with few treatment options. Nevertheless, research indicates that TMS effectively reduces anger, impulsive behaviour, and promotes mood stabilisation.

It is common for individuals with BPD to also experience depression. Studies investigating the treatment of both conditions using TMS demonstrate significant improvements in depressive symptoms. This progress aids in acknowledging and accepting genuine emotions while reducing impulsive behaviors. As a result, individuals can focus on their emotional well-being and cultivate a sense of acceptance.

How much does each session of TMS cost for treating BPD?

The second course of 15 sessions of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Smart TMS Edinburgh costs £4125.

You will have an assessment with a consultant between sessions.
