TMS treatment, often known as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses a magnetic pulse to stimulate portions of the brain linked with depressive symptoms. Originally developed in the 1980’s, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) has been utilized for more than 35 years. In 2008, the US Food and Drug Administration approved TMS Therapy as a non-drug, non-invasive treatment of depression in adults. In 2017, the FDA also approved TMS as a treatment for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), and it is currently also used to help smoking cessation.
If you have tried medications and talk therapy without sufficient relief for your depressive or anxiety symptoms, you may qualify for TMS therapy. Several insurance companies cover TMS therapy for patients with depression and OCD that have failed to respond to antidepressant medications and talk therapy.
The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2) is a simple two-question assessment that inquires about the frequency of depressed mood and anhedonia over time, typically over the past two weeks. To take our free depression test, click the button below!
While searching online for a psychiatrist, I became aware of TMS and hoped this might work and I am just glad I still had hope and had this treatment done.
ROGER
When I heard about TMS, I was very reluctant. However, my psychiatrist encouraged me to try it and I am so glad that I did. After just 3 sessions, the improvement was remarkable.
NANCY
TMS changed my life, I tell all my friends, I can't believe how much I've struggled with medication before I found something that actually worked. Thank you so much!
