The inspiring message for those who are struggling with treatment-resistant depression is that there is a state-of-the-art technology available to them at Inspire Behavioral Health.
What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is one of the most effective treatments available for depression. It uses magnetic currents to gently stimulate areas of the brain involved in control of mood regulation. TMS is an outpatient procedure with no anesthesia required, and the patient is able to return to normal activity right after the treatment. The treatment lasts only 20 minutes, and most patients report no side effects.

Who is TMS for?
TMS offers a promising, alternative approach to treating symptoms of depression and anxiety, where medications failed to provide an adequate solution.
TMS is ideal for patients who:
- ✓ Have tried at least 2 antidepressants and psychotherapy with inadequate response
- ✓ Have inability to tolerate medications
- ✓ Does not have implanted magnetic-sensitive device within the head/neck
- ✓ Have no history of seizures
Is TMS the same as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)?
No! ECT (formerly called "electroshock therapy") is a more invasive procedure, administered in a hospital under anesthesia. While ECT may have a significant recovery time and cause side effects like memory loss, TMS requires no hospital stay or recovery time, and patients report few to no side effects.
