Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
What is TMS?
- An innovative office based treatment
- Uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas
- FDA approved treatment for resistant depression
- Quick and effective relief from depression symptoms
- Produces better results than medications
- Safe treatment with little to no side effects
- Covered by most insurances
How Does TMS Work?
- Magnetic waves activate brain areas during multiple treatment sessions.
- This activation strengthens key brain areas and their connections .
- With each session, brain connections strengthen through neuroplasticity.
- Depression symptoms decrease as the brain areas begin to function and communicate like they should.
- As brain function and communication increases depression fades away.
- After treatment, these brain areas and their connections remain strong, increasing resilience against future depression.
TMS increases brain activity and connectivity, transitioning from minimal activation as seen in depressed brains to a more vibrant, activated, and connected state as seen in normal brains.

Deep TMS vs Traditional TMS
Head-to-Head Compairson Data
A head-to-head study of TMS treatments, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, found that Deep TMS plus standard medication was significantly more effective at reducing depression levels among Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) patients compared with Traditional TMS plus medication or medication alone.
Deep TMS had no difference in safety or tolerability from Traditional TMS.
