Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008, TMS uses an alternating current passed through a metal coil placed against the scalp to generate rapidly alternating magnetic fields. These pass through the skull nearly unimpeded and induce electric currents that depolarize neurons in a focal area of the surface cortex.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for depression is an effective way to treat depression as a non-medication option.  Theta-burst stimulation is a unique protocol that we offer in addition to conventional TMS for Depression treatment.

High Success Rate 

The best part about TMS is that it’s a treatment that actually works. Traditional medication for depression has fairly low success rates, especially if the first one or two medications don’t provide adequate relief. Thousands of studies have shown that TMS has a success rate of at least 68%, compared to just 37.5% for medication.

Long-Term Results of TMS Therapy

Compared to other medication-based procedures, TMS provides long-term results. This is because one must stay on medications indefinitely or else they risk both relapse and discontinuation syndrome. According to research, 90% of people maintain the advantages of TMS for at least 12 months.
