What is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is an advanced, FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment designed to alleviate symptoms of depression, particularly for those with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), and other mental health conditions. By using magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas associated with mood regulation, TMS offers a cutting-edge alternative for individuals who have not responded well to traditional treatments.

Available by prescription through a qualified healthcare provider, TMS is widely recognized for its effectiveness and is covered by most insurance plans. This innovative approach represents a significant breakthrough in mental health care.
