TMS is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder, treatment-resistant depression, and other mood disorders. It works by delivering focused magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in specific areas of the brain, notably the prefrontal cortex, which regulates mood.
Unlike traditional therapies such as antidepressant medications or electroconvulsive therapy, TMS is drug-free, outpatient, and associated with minimal systemic side effects—no sedation, memory loss, or weight gain.
