TMS treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) - first course

Smart TMS Birmingham provides the first session of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a novel, non-invasive treatment option for borderline personality disorder (BPD) that uses magnetic pulses targeted at the areas of the brain that aim to improve mood.

What is borderline personality disorder (BPD)?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that impacts an individual's cognitive processes, emotions, and interpersonal relationships, often leading to challenges in daily functioning. BPD is considered to be the most prevalent among personality disorders.

What are the symptoms of BPD?

Typically, the symptoms of borderline personality disorder become apparent during adolescence and persist into adulthood.

The symptoms associated with BPD can be classified into four primary areas:

impulsive behavior
emotional instability, clinically referred to as affective dysregulation
intense and unstable interpersonal relationships
cognitive or perceptual distortions, characterised by disrupted thinking or perception.

How is TMS used to treat borderline personality disorder?

TMS therapy has the potential to enhance emotional stability and empower individuals to regain control over their feelings.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation targets and reduces the hyperactivity in the specific brain region responsible for triggering BPD symptoms, thereby enhancing mood.

Unlike medications that affect the entire brain, TMS selectively treats the brain circuits associated with the condition without introducing chemicals throughout the brain.

The treatment plan for BPD typically involves 30 sessions, divided into two sets of 15 sessions. These sessions are scheduled over a period of three to six weeks, with each session lasting 30 minutes.

In certain cases, patients may have the option of receiving multiple sessions in a day.

How effective is TMS in the treatment of BPD?

Psychiatrists acknowledge that assessing and treating BPD can be challenging, leaving patients with limited treatment alternatives.
However, research demonstrates the effectiveness of TMS in mitigating anger, impulsive behavior, and stabilising moods. Individuals with BPD often experience concurrent depression.

Studies exploring the treatment of both conditions with TMS reveal noteworthy enhancements in depressive symptoms, facilitating the process of acknowledging and accepting genuine emotions while reducing impulsive behaviours. This improvement enables individuals to concentrate on their emotional well-being and acceptance.

How much does the first course of TMS treatment at Smart TMS cost?

The first course of 15 sessions of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Smart TMS Birmingham costs £4125.

You will have an assessment with a consultant between sessions.
