Early detection is vital. Here are some important questions to ask yourself:
-
Do you spend more than 5% of your income on gambling?
-
Has the amount of money you spend gambling increased over time?
-
Have you tried to hide your gambling habits from others?
-
Do you feel gambling is a response to depression, or other mood imbalances?
-
Do you follow up losses by gambling more?
-
Do you believe you would be happier if you gambled less?

TMS: Now available at ProCare
TMS uses non-invasive magnetic pulses to stimulate the prefrontal cortex of the brain to activate positive mood pathways:
​
-
When an electrical current passes through a TMS coil, it generates a magnetic field that passes into the brain without resistance.
-
This magnetic field acts via induction to produce electrical activity in the underlying cortical neurons.
-
If the stimulation is provided above a certain threshold, these neurons will depolarise.
-
The repeated firing of local cortical neurons induces an effect similar to long-term potentiation. ​
