TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This therapy is primarily used for the treatment of depression, but it may also be effective for treating other conditions such as anxiety and chronic pain.

The therapy has several benefits including high success rates, few side effects, short treatment duration, long-lasting effects, and customizable treatment options. It is effective in treating depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and OCD among other conditions.

TMS therapy has been proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, and OCD by the FDA.

What are the preconditions for TMS therapy?

• Confirmed diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) from a qualified mental health professional is required.
• Prior unsuccessful or limited response to antidepressant medication or intolerable side effects.

• Medical evaluation required to ensure no contraindications to TMS therapy, such as history of seizures or metallic implants in head/neck.
• Commitment to attending all treatment sessions and completing the full course of treatment (4-6 weeks) required.
• Willingness to participate in follow-up care, including ongoing monitoring of depressive symptoms and treatment plan adjustments, required.
