Studies have shown that TMS is an effective way to treat various types of depression.  It was first studied on adult patients who had failed with previous treatments for major depressive disorder. What is TMS Therapy for Depression? TMS stands for “transcranial magnetic stimulation.” This process is used to treat depression by non-invasively stimulating the …

Depression can be treated with medication, but some may not be able to take it due to other health conditions. Others might have tried antidepressants and found that it was ineffective for them. There are also others who simply prefer not taking antidepressant medications despite their effectiveness because of the side effects or another reason …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation procedure that may help patients with severe depression. TMS elicits magnetic energy, which turns into electrical current underneath the patient’s skull, to help regulate the patient’s emotions. TMS is an adjunct treatment that works along with medication and is non-invasive (does not require surgery). How long …

Medications and talk therapy may have limited effects in the treatment of depression, but there is hope. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has been shown to be an effective form of treatment for depression. TMS may help by stimulating a part of the brain that is involved in moods and emotions, without any memory loss or …

TMS Therapy is a simple FDA-approved procedure that has proved to be effective.  TMS is a non-invasive, targeted treatment that is statistically safer than any antidepressant medication. Medications are ingested, and therefore have diffuse and systemic reactions through the entire body, which leads to a wide range of side-effects like weight gain, fatigue and drowsiness, …

People who suffer from depression may sometimes feel they have hit a dead end when medications and talk therapy don’t help. The good news is our TMS facility offers the solution! Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation focuses on stimulating a part of your brain that’s involved in moods, emotions and memories. It does not require hospitalization or …

Depression is a dark and lonely abyss that many people find themselves in, often feeling as if there’s no way out. Yet we specialize in treating depression with TMS therapy. This FDA-approved procedure doesn’t require hospitalization or anesthesia because it works by stimulating the area of your brain responsible for moods and emotions. Unlike electroconvulsive …

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 …

Depression is common in our world, and it can be treated with medication. There are many different types of antidepressants out there for you to choose from, including SSRIs and older drug classes like tricyclic antidepressants. These medications have been proven to work for the treatment of depression. But maybe you’ve tried antidepressant drugs before …

The TMS Therapy system uses magnetic pulses to generate intense, fast fields comparable to those generated by MRI machines. The treatment coil is positioned on the head over the left prefrontal cortex, which regulates mood and therefore is the location where these fields are concentrated. The treatment coil only reaches 2-3cm into your brain; the …
