Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder, sometimes referred to as manic-depressive illness, is a complex brain condition characterized by significant and unusual shifts in mood, energy levels, and overall functioning.

Unlike typical mood fluctuations, the symptoms of Bipolar Disorder are severe and can profoundly impact relationships, academic or professional performance, and even lead to suicidal thoughts.

This condition affects a substantial portion of the adult population, with millions of individuals experiencing it each year.

While Bipolar Disorder frequently emerges in late adolescence or early adulthood, it can manifest during childhood or later in life.

It's not uncommon for individuals to live with the illness for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, often because it's not immediately recognized as a medical condition.

Similar to chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease, bipolar disorder requires ongoing management throughout a person's life.

Given its association with the brain's reward system, innovative treatments targeting prefrontal regions and related neural networks, such as Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™), are being explored for their potential effectiveness in managing this chronic condition.

Conventional Treatment

Traditional treatments for bipolar disorder often involve a combination of medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers (e.g., lithium).

However, there is ongoing discussion and limited clinical data regarding the consistent effectiveness of these treatments.

Some concerns exist that antidepressant medications might potentially worsen the intensity and frequency of manic episodes or accelerate the bipolar cycle in some patients.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may be considered as a treatment option for severe manic or depressive episodes that haven't responded to other treatments, or when medication causes significant side effects.

Innovative Treatment with Deep TMS

Advanced, non-invasive, and generally well-tolerated treatment for bipolar disorder using Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS).

This approach involves stimulating specific brain structures and networks linked to bipolar disorder, aiming to bring about significant improvement for patients.

The Deep TMS procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning it does not require hospitalization or anesthesia.

It typically has minimal systemic side effects.

A previous clinical trial reported by BrainsWay indicated that their treatment was well-tolerated by all participants.

A clinical response was observed in 70% of subjects, with a large majority showing notable improvement, especially when compared to their prior experiences with antidepressant treatments.
