Does Your Brain Need a Reset for the Holidays This Year?

As December begins, we can truly commence 2023’s holiday season. Does this turn excite you? Are you ready to spread this year’s servings of merriment, jolliness and good cheer?

If you currently feel out of step with this season’s greetings, let’s explore ways you might connect with the holiday spirit.

Are You Only a Step Behind?

The holidays can sneak up on anybody. Has that happened to you this year? Don’t worry. If you’re just a bit off pace, catching up is easy. Here’s a merry strategy:

1. Open your music-streaming app.
2. Click one of the curated holiday mixes.
3. Press Shuffle.
4. Enjoy at your preferred volume.
5. Expect to be in the holiday mood shortly.

Are the Holidays Frankly Not Your Thing?

This annual season of gatherings and celebrations arrives whether or not we each want it. It’s surely the hardest holiday period of the year to ignore. In our society, marketers make sure of that.

Still, we each have room to participate in exactly the amount that feels right to us as adults in December’s festivities. Some of us must navigate relatives’ expectations, but nobody who is not into the holidays should feel required to fake anything.

Disliking the holidays can be perfectly normal.

Have You Considered the Weather?

If you’re currently feeling unexpectedly out of rhythm with this season, we might blame the gloomy sky and chilly temps. These can dampen moods. Often, a mug of cocoa can lift us. Stir it with a candy cane for a bit of holiday character and peppermint flavor. Within a few sips, you may start noticing your elves lining up in a row.

Have You Heard About SAD?

Often, this season’s gloom cannot be erased with a mug of cocoa. The shorter days and longer nights of this time of year can contribute to seasonal affective disorder. You may have heard of this type of depression, which is also called SAD. During winter, signs of SAD include

• A loss of interest in your favorite things
• Difficulty with memory and concentration
• Persistent sadness
• Hopelessness
• Irritability

While SAD can recur annually, we offer a remedy at WIN-TMS.

Does Your Brain Need a Reset for the Holidays This Year?

Like many people, you may love Christmas, but something just feels wrong this year. You may be dealing with recurring depression. Here are some common signs:

• You have a previous history of depression.
• You’ve recently had trouble with focus and decision-making.
• You’ve lost interest in daily activities.
• Lately, you may be feeling sad or empty.
• Patience may have become a challenge recently.
• Your eating habits may have negatively changed.

If you’ve read this far, take heart. You are not your condition, and recurring depression is not a permanent state when you know how to proactively face it.

Through an easy procedure, your brain can be reset this holiday season.

How We Can Reset Your Brain and Prepare You for a Happy 2024

Our healthcare practice delivers trusted resistant depression therapy. We offer transcranial magnetic stimulation at three Milwaukee-area locations. In the 21st century, TMS therapy is improving people’s lives.

This unique therapy offers

• Results without medication
• Full remission for 62% of patients
• Improvement for 83% of patients
• Treatment approved by insurance
• Noninvasive treatment

We apply TMS therapy through an electromagnet while you sit in a chair that resembles one you’d find at a dentist’s office. Think of our handheld device as a miniature MRI machine. Naturally, our small machine makes much less noise.

The TMS device resets your brain’s motor cortex. That’s like the chip inside your smartphone. Sometimes, it needs an operating system update to continue running properly. Resetting your motor cortex with TMS therapy entails

• Five roughly 20-minute sessions weekly for several weeks
• Daily appointments on weekdays or Saturdays
• Initial results within the first several sessions
• Comfortably reading or watching something during each session
• Minimal short-term side effects we can clarify when you call us
• The capability to confidently drive yourself after each appointment

Every person is unique, so the best way to evaluate TMS therapy comes from personally experiencing its benefits. If recurring depression is making you a different person than you want to be this holiday season, talk to us. We’ll help you bring back the true you.
