Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an DFA approved medical treatment indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients.
It is a safe and effective non-invasive, non-mediaction option for patients who have not benefited from their current anti-depressant medication.
Moreover, TMS therapy is free of systemic side effects that are commonly experienced with anti-depressant medications.
TMS therapy targets an area of the brain that is known to be under active in patients suffering from depression called the prefrontal cortex. Highly focused magnetic pulses stimulate this area of the brain, causing activation of neurons which then release neurotransmitters to relieve depressive symptoms.
