Many of the most common antidepressants carry a risk of unpleasant side effects. These include:

• Nausea,
• Dizziness,
• Constipation,
• Anxiety or restlessness,
• Blurred vision,
• Weight gain,
• Decreased libido,
• Fatigue, and
• Insomnia.

There are plenty of coping strategies to minimize these side effects, and thankfully, most people don’t experience all of them. However, for a small portion of the population, the side effects caused by antidepressants are severe and disruptive to daily life.

A promising solution for these individuals is TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), a non-surgical, non-systemic therapy that targets the brain directly.
