How Does TMS Therapy for Depression

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)  targets key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression. A magnet similar in strength to that used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine stimulates nerve cells thought to control mood. It is proven safe and effective for patients with depression who have not benefited from antidepressant medication. Long term remission is possible with NeuroStar TMS.
