Innovative treatment: Transcranial magnetic stimulation in Kleve

kleve. In the star bush clinic in Kleve, an innovative treatment method for depression has been used for one year: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This method is not only offered in large cities, but is also accessible at the front door of many affected people.

A new hope for those affected

For Marlies K., the TMS is a change in life. The 75-year-old has been suffering from depression for around 20 years, which they plunged into dark phases, in which she felt empty and without drive. "It is as if all the energy has disappeared," she describes her experience with the disease. This emotional emptiness was accompanied by the typical symptoms such as a lack of joy and a loss of interests.

The decision for TMS

Like many other affected people, Marlies K. found recognition and support in her environment, especially with her sister. This discovered a TV report on the TMS and pointed out the opportunity to be treated in the Sternbuschklinik. "I was surprised that I could find something like this in the area," says Marlies K.

Explain how the TMS works

Nicole Minkwitz, deputy nursing management of the clinic, explains that the TMS has a targeted effect on certain brain areas, which are often out of balance in depression. Magnetic pulses stimulate the nerve cells, which regulates serotonin emissions - a decisive factor for well -being. Treatment takes place in the clinic for at least four weeks, five days a week, and has only minimal side effects.

Community and therapy-more than just treatment

For Marlies K., the stay in the clinic was more than just a medical measure. The community of other patients played a crucial role. "There is no shame and no taboos here. This feeling of openness has strengthened me liberating," she said her experiences.

With the end of her six weeks of inpatient treatment, Marlies K. returns to Weeze, full of hope for stabilized mental health. "I finally want to have something from life and be happy again," she describes her goals for the future.
