Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Rethink the Way You Treat Your Depression
A safe, effective solution for MDD, OCD, and anxious depression for adolescents and adults
Treat depression at the source with TMS, a non-drug, non-invasive treatment that can be used in combination with other therapies.
A New Hope for Depression
TMS is a procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression. It's an FDA-approved noninvasive procedure, done without using surgery or cutting the skin. TMS usually is used only when other depression treatments haven't been effective.
What is TMS?
1
During an TMS session for depression, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp of your head. This coil delivers magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. It's thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity during depression.
How Does It Work?
2
Depression is a treatable condition. But for some people, standard treatments aren't effective. Repetitive TMS may be used when standard treatments such as medicines and psychotherapy don't work.
TMS is sometimes used to treat OCD, migraines and to help people stop smoking after other treatments have not been successful.

Studies show that with each unsuccessful medication attempt, chances of abandoning treatment increase. However, TMS has response and remission rates that cannot be denied, including durability for up to 12 months.
