Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in mood, focus, or anxiety regulation. It is performed in an outpatient setting without anesthesia or sedation.
Deep TMS employs a specialized coil that reaches deeper neural circuits up to four centimeters below the scalp. This design allows targeting of areas implicated in conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and depression with greater precision.
TMS is FDA cleared for treatment resistant depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and attentional deficits associated with ADHD. Research is ongoing for anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress, and other neuropsychiatric conditions.
Most patients feel a gentle tapping or tingling sensation at the stimulation site. Mild headache or scalp discomfort can occur but usually resolves quickly without additional medication.
A typical session lasts between eighteen and twenty minutes. You remain awake and seated comfortably throughout, and can read, listen to music, or simply relax during treatment.
The standard course consists of five sessions per week for four to six weeks, totaling twenty to thirty sessions. Accelerated schedules may be available for those seeking faster relief.
Some patients report symptom reduction within the first few sessions. For most, measurable improvements occur by the second or third week of therapy and continue to build over the full treatment course.
Deep TMS is well tolerated with no evidence of memory loss or cognitive decline. Long term follow up studies show minimal to no lasting adverse effects when protocols are followed.

TMS is not recommended for individuals with metal implants in or near the head, active seizure disorders, or certain neurological implants. A thorough medical screening prior to treatment will identify any contraindications.
