Understanding rTMS:
rTMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It's typically considered for depression that hasn't responded adequately to medication alone, or for patients who experience significant side effects from antidepressant medication. Unlike medication, rTMS doesn't involve systemic drug effects, and unlike ECT, it doesn't require anaesthesia. It's usually delivered as a course of multiple sessions rather than a single treatment.
How Dr. Satija approaches this:
Dr. Satija's training in rTMS sits alongside her broader work in depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related conditions, and her psychotherapy training in CBT and Transactional Analysis. This means treatment-resistant depression can be assessed and addressed through multiple approaches — medication review, therapy, or rTMS — rather than a single default option.
Who this is for:
Relevant if you've tried antidepressant medication without adequate improvement, want to explore non-medication treatment options for depression, or are researching rTMS as a specific treatment before committing.
What to expect:
An initial in-clinic consultation (₹1,200) typically involves assessment of your depression history, prior treatments tried, and whether rTMS or another approach is appropriate for your situation.
