Understanding the medical distinction between daily outpatient TMS, oral psychotropic medications, and hospital-based interventions.
| Clinical Dimension | Karma Outpatient TMS | Oral Antidepressants | Inpatient Care / ECT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Focal magnetic pulses targeting the underactive prefrontal cortex | Systemic chemical circulation affecting body and brain | Generalized electrical seizure induction or 24/7 containment |
| Anesthesia / Sedation | None required (100% awake) | None | Full general anesthesia required for ECT |
| Systemic Side Effects | Zero (no weight gain, fatigue, or sexual side effects) | High risk of weight gain, sexual dysfunction, insomnia, nausea | High risk of confusion, severe memory loss, disorientation |
| Daily Routine Impact | 20-minute outpatient visit; drive yourself home immediately | Daily pill ingestion with ongoing biological tolerance | Multi-week hospital stay or full cognitive downtime |
| Durability of Relief | Long-term neuroplastic remodeling (12+ months sustained) | Temporary (symptoms often return if medications stop) | Variable; requires maintenance ECT or ongoing medications |
