Is TMS therapy right for you?

Patients sometimes consider TMS when depression symptoms persist despite medication treatment or medication side effects are difficult to tolerate. Eligibility depends on a medical evaluation, diagnosis, treatment history, and safety screening.

What does TMS therapy feel like?

Treatment takes place while you are awake in an outpatient chair. Some patients experience tapping sensations, headache, or scalp discomfort, particularly during early visits. The treatment team monitors your comfort and progress.

When depression or anxiety is not improving

Ongoing symptoms despite appropriate care are a reason to discuss treatment options with a qualified clinician. Depression and anxiety can overlap, but treatment indications and insurance coverage differ. TMS is not necessarily appropriate for every condition or patient.

Questions to discuss with your clinician include whether your diagnosis and treatment history meet eligibility criteria, what outcomes are realistic, and what risks or alternatives are relevant to you.
