A non-medication treatment option
TMS treats depression without adding another medication
Magstim TMS uses focused magnetic pulses rather than a drug circulating throughout the body.
How it is different
You sit comfortably while a treatment coil delivers magnetic pulses to a targeted brain area associated with mood regulation.
- No anesthesia or sedation
- No surgery or implanted device
- Approximately 20 minutes per regular session
- Generally return to normal activities afterward
TMS may be used alongside medication or psychotherapy when recommended. Do not change medication without speaking with your prescriber.
