TMS therapy is a safe and effective treatment for individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not experienced satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication. TMS therapy can be used in conjunction with medication or as a stand-alone treatment.

The magnetic pulses stimulate brain cells, thereby improving the brain’s ability to regulate mood. After a treatment session, patients can immediately return to their normal routine, including driving.
