About TMS Therapy

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression.

During a treatment session, a magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine is used to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain thought to control mood. These magnetic pulses may have a positive effect on the brains neurotransmitter levels, making long term remission possible.
