‘Brain Stimulation’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

 

 

Brain stimulation refers to various techniques that involve applying controlled electrical or magnetic impulses to specific areas of the brain. These methods are used to modulate neural activity and treat neurological and psychiatric conditions.

One common form of brain stimulation is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic fields to induce electrical currents in targeted regions of the brain. TMS is primarily used to treat depression when other treatments have not been effective.

Another technique is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), where electrical currents are applied to the brain under anesthesia to intentionally induce a seizure. ECT is often used for severe depression, bipolar disorder, and sometimes schizophrenia.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves implanting electrodes in specific brain regions and delivering continuous electrical pulses. DBS is used to treat movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, as well as certain psychiatric conditions.

These brain stimulation techniques aim to alleviate symptoms, improve brain function, and enhance quality of life for patients, often as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
