Proven Non-drug Treatment for Depression

Now there’s hope!

If you are suffering from depression, you are not alone.

• Approximately 16.1 million people in the U.S. live with this serious illness
• About 4 million of these do not benefit from standard antidepressant medication

TMS Therapy may be able to help, with effective, non-drug treatment for depression that is bringing new hope to patients every day.

TMS Therapy is an FDA-cleared safe and effective treatment for patients with depression who have not benefited from prior antidepressant medication. It works by stimulating areas of the brain that are underactive in patients with severe depression.

Because it is not a depression drug, TMS Therapy is free from the side effects that patients often experience when they take antidepressant medication. TMS Therapy works through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in which highly targeted magnetic pulses stimulate the areas of the brain that are underactive in patients with severe depression.
