TMS THERAPY FOR DepressiON

Depression is a complex mental health condition that can impact every area of life. For those who have not found relief through medication or therapy alone, TMS offers a new option. By targeting the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain linked to mood regulation, TMS helps restore normal brain activity and improve mood.

If you suffer from depression and have not seen benefit from medications and talk therapy, TMS may be for you.

TMS was approved by the FDA for the treatment of medication resistant depression in 2008. In our clinic, from our registry data, we have seen a significant improvement in approximately 71.4% of our patients and 42.9% of our patients have a complete resolution in their symptoms.

Lasting Relief: Studies have shown that TMS can offer lasting relief from depressive symptoms.

Minimal Side Effects: Unlike medications, TMS side effects are generally mild.

Who is it for?

TMS is particularly beneficial for patients who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments. If you’re dealing with treatment-resistant depression, TMS could be a viable next step.
