TMS has helped millions of people find relief from depression.
TMS is a non-invasive, non-medication treatment
Intended for patients who have not found relief from antidepressant drugs, TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate a specific area of the brain associated with controlling mood– decreasing depressive symptoms after repeated sessions.
FDA Cleared & Covered by Insurance
TMS therapy has been FDA cleared since 2008, proven to be safe & effective, and covered by most major insurance providers.
No Systemic Side Effects
While you may feel a slight tapping sensation, most patients adapt to it after just a couple of sessions.
21 Day Difference
Many patients start to see an improvement after just 3-4 weeks of treatment.
Safe & Effective
About 79% of patients who complete a full course of TMS show a clinically meaningful response and about 53% experience a remission, meaning their symptoms go away completely.
Fits In Your Schedule
Sessions are 3-20 minutes and you can drive to and from your appointments. The full course covered by insurance usually takes about 6-8 weeks to complete.
Covered By Insurance
All major payers cover TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression. If you've tried multiple antidepressants and therapy, there's a good chance your insurance covers it.
What is Nasal Esketamine?
Esketamine is a prescription nasal spray that is fast-acting, FDA approved, and covered by most major insurance providers, and is used to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), or major depressive disorder with suicidal ideation.
Unlike oral antidepressants, it is a novel mechanism that acts on different receptors (NMDA vs. serotonin receptors) to treat depression and bring fast relief.
