The Holidays Are Hard—But They Don’t Have to Be
For many, the holidays are a time of warmth, connection, and celebration. But for others, this season can amplify feelings of loneliness, stress, and depression. The truth is, even in the season of joy, millions of people silently struggle with severe depression—and if that’s you, you’re not alone.
At Core Self, we understand how overwhelming it can feel when depression makes even simple things—like decorating the tree or joining family gatherings—feel impossible. The good news? Depression is treatable, even when medications or therapy alone haven’t worked.
That’s where NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) comes in.
What Is NeuroStar TMS?
NeuroStar TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation. Unlike medications, TMS has no systemic side effects, and allows you to return to normal activities right after each session.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and over the course of several weeks, many people begin to feel their energy, motivation, and joy slowly return. TMS works by “re-awakening” underactive areas of the brain—helping you think, feel, and live more like yourself again.
Why the Holidays Are the Right Time to Start
If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to seek help, this is it. The holidays can be emotionally intense, but with the right support, they can also be a turning point toward healing. Don’t spend another season feeling numb, disconnected, or hopeless.
You deserve to feel present—with your family, your friends, and yourself.
