Depression stress. Rtms cause any harm?

Hi Thanks for reaching out. The good news is that depression, stress, anxiety, inflammation, and sleep deprivation do not usually cause permanent brain cell loss. They can affect brain functioning, memory, concentration, and neurotransmitter balance, but many of these changes are reversible with recovery, good sleep, therapy, exercise, and appropriate treatment. Stress-related shallow breathing may feel alarming, but it typically does not deprive the brain of oxygen or cause permanent cognitive damage. Cognitive difficulties seen during depression or anxiety often improve as symptoms improve. Psychiatric medications and rTMS are generally considered safe when used under professional supervision and are not known to cause brain damage. In fact, treating depression and chronic stress may help protect cognitive functioning. Recovery varies from person to person, but many people experience significant improvement once the underlying condition is addressed. A proper assessment can help determine the most likely cause of your symptoms and guide treatment.
