What Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
TMS is a non‑invasive procedure that uses targeted magnetic pulses to “wake up” under‑active areas of the brain involved in mood and motivation. Approved by the FDA in 2008 for depression (and in 2022 for OCD), TMS has helped hundreds of thousands of people worldwide—often after years of trying multiple medications without success.

Quick facts:
- Outpatient treatment—no anesthesia or downtime
- Typical session: 20–25 minutes, 5 days a week for 4–6 weeks
- Minimal side effects (most commonly mild scalp discomfort or a brief headache)
- You can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to work or school immediately
Is TMS Right for You?
You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Have a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder or chronic PTSD and have tried at least two antidepressants or evidence‑based therapy without sufficient relief.
- Are free of certain medical exclusions (e.g., non‑removable metal in or near the skull, active seizure disorder).
- Can commit to daily sessions for 4–6 weeks—an investment in self‑care that pays lasting dividends.
