What is TMS?

TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an advanced technique that uses MRI-strength magnetic energy to target brain regions that regulate mood. This approach allows our staff of experts to improve the function of these areas, effectively relieving depression.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for depression offers a unique approach to treatment. It stimulates specific areas of the brain that control mood and are less active in people with depression. Using a magnetic field similar to an MRI, TMS encourages brain cells to release neurotransmitters, the same chemicals that antidepressants aim to boost. Additionally, TMS enhances the brain’s connectivity, helping areas of the brain work better together. This stimulation helps these brain regions return to a more normal, functional state. TMS Therapy often provides significant symptom relief, even for those who haven’t found success with other treatments.

Is It Right for You?

Are you taking medication(s) to treat your mood disorder? Are you still struggling with your mood disorder despite medication trials? Are you experiencing side effects from your medication(s)? Have you ever switched medications more than once due to side effects? Is your mood disorder interfering with your ability to function as you would like in relationships, at work, home and/or school?.
