Depression Can Be Deadly—And Waiting to Get Better Can Make It Worse
Every year, millions of people suffer from depression. Some feel tired all the time. Others feel numb. Many feel like giving up.
But here’s what’s even scarier:
- 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. lives with a mental illness
- Over 50% of people with depression don’t get better with meds alone
- Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for people under 35
The truth? Many people are trying to survive while their brain works against them.
As Winston Churchill once said:
“When you’re going through hell, keep going.”
But what if there was a faster way out?
Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) is a newer, shorter form of TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) that offers real hope. It can take just 3 minutes per session—instead of the usual 20.
And it’s already changing lives in Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, and Gilbert.
At Bella Vida TMS, we offer TBS for people who need results, want their time back, and are ready to feel like themselves again. And yes—we accept most major insurance plans.
What Is Theta Burst Stimulation?
TBS is a type of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) that delivers magnetic pulses in short bursts—just like the brain naturally fires when learning or healing.
Unlike traditional rTMS, which takes 20–40 minutes, TBS can be done in about 3 minutes with similar or even better results for depression and other mood disorders.
Who Can Benefit from TBS?
TBS is a great option if you:
✅ Have treatment-resistant depression
✅ Are tired of taking medications that don’t work
✅ Need a faster session due to a busy schedule
✅ Want a drug-free, FDA-cleared option
✅ Are struggling with anxiety, PTSD, or mood swings
It’s ideal for professionals, parents, students, and anyone who’s short on time but needs serious help.
What Does the Research Say?
- A 2018 study published in The Lancet found that TBS was just as effective as standard TMS
- Another study showed fewer side effects and higher patient satisfaction with TBS
- The treatment is well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and no need for sedation
TBS stimulates the brain’s prefrontal cortex, the part responsible for mood, energy, and focus. By activating this area, the brain can “reboot” itself—naturally.
