Struggling with depression that hasn’t responded to medication? There’s hope!
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a safe, medication-free treatment option
that’s FDA-approved and shows powerful results.
What Is TMS?
TMS is a non-invasive therapy that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive
areas of the brain associated with depression. Unlike medications that affect the whole
body, TMS targets the brain directly offering results with minimal side effects.
Who Can Benefit?
TMS is ideal for adults experiencing moderate to severe depression, especially when
antidepressants haven’t helped or caused unpleasant side effects. It can also be effective
for those dealing with depression alongside:
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- OCD
- ADHD
- Insomnia
- Personality disorders
- Substance abuse history
What’s the Treatment Process?
The journey starts with a referral and a simple evaluation. Once approved:
- We map your brain to pinpoint the treatment area.
- Sessions are quick! Just 18 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
- A full course includes 36 sessions, and many people begin to feel better within a
few weeks.
What Are the Results?
Most patients see significant improvement, and nearly half reach full remission. If
depression returns after treatment, many insurance plans cover a second round of
sessions after six months.
Are There Risks?
TMS is considered very safe. Mild headaches are the most common side effect and usually
resolve quickly. The risk of serious effects—like seizures—is extremely rare (1 in 30,000
sessions). Patients with certain metal implants or unstable medical conditions may not be
eligible.
