What is TMS therapy and how does it work?

TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain and improve symptoms of depression.

Is TMS therapy effective for treatment-resistant depression?

Yes, TMS is FDA-approved and has been shown to be effective for individuals who haven’t responded to traditional antidepressants.

How long does each TMS session take?

A typical TMS session lasts between 20 and 40 minutes, and patients usually undergo treatment five days a week for 4 to 6 weeks.

Does TMS therapy have side effects?

TMS is well-tolerated by most patients. The most common side effects include mild headache or scalp discomfort during or after treatment.

Is TMS therapy covered by insurance?
