Unlocking the Power of TMS
Find hope and comprehensive treatment with American Psych Care.
What is TMS?
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, harnesses the potential of non-invasive electromagnetic fields, akin to those generated by an MRI machine, to activate or inhibit specific brain regions. This groundbreaking therapy delivers short, focused magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. The treatment duration varies, ranging from 3 to 19 minutes per session, typically administered 3-5 times per week, spanning a six-week period.

TMS Treatment Explained
Experience the Journey
TMS therapy is a painless, noninvasive procedure that requires no anesthesia or sedation. You can continue taking your prescribed medications without interruption. Relax in a comfortable chair, enjoying a spa-like atmosphere, while the TMS coil hovers above your head, delivering the therapeutic magnetic pulses to your brain.
During the treatment, you may hear a clicking noise and feel a gentle tapping sensation on your head, often described as resembling a woodpecker’s sound. Rest assured, TMS treatment is generally pain-free. Following the session, you might experience mild scalp irritation or a minor headache. Each session lasts between 3 to 19 minutes, depending on your treatment plan, allowing you to engage in conversation or watch TV during the process.
Throughout your treatment, our dedicated TMS Therapy specialist remains present, overseeing the procedure and ensuring your comfort.
Treatment Frequency
The Path to Transformation
Most patients undergo three to five TMS treatment sessions per week over a six-week duration. However, the exact frequency can vary based on your specific condition and your response to treatment.
Continuing Medications
Optimizing Your Treatment
You can continue taking your regular medications during your TMS series, but our clinicians will carefully evaluate your medication regimen. In some cases, adjustments may be necessary to mitigate the risk of seizures. Rest assured, our team will work closely with you to optimize your treatment plan.
Long-Term Efficacy
Lasting Relief
TMS offers a durable solution for depression, with responder rates sustained at 50% up to one year following a successful treatment course. While most antidepressant treatments require ongoing maintenance, TMS is no exception. Although research on TMS as a maintenance therapy is limited, our team will collaborate with you and your primary psychiatrist and therapist to establish a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs.
