25.01.2022 Life is overwhelming enough... Because we have privileged relationships with health funds and work cover organisations, our Patient Care Team handles all the paperwork for patients and referring doctors.

25.01.2022 Another tip from Deborah, psychologist. [ F U N ] Now more than ever, do things for fun!... Make a point to give yourself this time. You can get creative, learn a new skill, pick up an indoor hobby, do an online course, learn something on YouTube. Now is the time to finally learn photography! There are plenty of free classes online (we like this one: https://www.nikonevents.com/us/live/nikon-school-online/)! Enjoy, everyone! And stay safe! www.tmsaustralia.com.au

21.01.2022 There are many antidepressants available, and its OK if your doctor prescribes some.

20.01.2022 Deborahs tips continue! [ C O N N E C T E D ] Social distancing does not have to mean isolation....

19.01.2022 Do you have questions about TMS? We want to hear from you! Submit your questions to https://t.ly/iRXG While access to TMS therapy is expanding across Australia, there are still people who have not heard of it, or are unclear about what it is, or understand how it is different from other treatments for depression. In response, we are hosting a webinar to address questions from the community, and would like to invite you to complete our survey to ensure the topics we cover are relevant. The survey is anonymous - so don't be shy about sending us your questions!

17.01.2022 "Is TMS is painful? " Well, it can be for some individuals. But in most cases the main side effect is scalp discomfort and a headache.

16.01.2022 Deborah, psychologist and our clinical Director, has shared with the team a series of tips to help cope through the stress and anxiety. We would like to share them with you over the next weeks. [ B R E A T H E ]... Do some slow breathing: it has a calming effect on the body and on the mind. Breathe in with the nose for 3 seconds, then out for 3 seconds. Do not just fill your lungs, but use your diaphragm as much as possible. Stay safe!

14.01.2022 Tips continued. [ R E L A X ] Ok so you have been switching that phone off, now what?... Meditation is good, but can be difficult to start. Deborah recommends starting with a long hot shower, letting the mind wander and focusing on the moment. One can also pray or listen to music in a comfortable position, with eyes closed as to give yourself some space to relax your mind, but also your body. Stay safe! www.tmsaustralia.com.au

09.01.2022 TMS IN THE NEWS: The FDA has approved TMS for the treatment of OCD. https://hubs.ly/H0vkYnd0 According to Professor Paul Fitzgerald, Medical Director and Co-founder of TMS Clinics Australia: While TMS is not yet subsidised in Australia, I see this as a promising development. As research accumulates to demonstrate the effectiveness of TMS in treating a range of conditions, overseas approvals such as this serve to increase awareness and confidence in its use - which means more patients will be able to access this safe and well-tolerated therapy in the future."
