Rediscover Hope with NeuroStar TMS Therapy in Decatur GA
Breakthrough Depression Treatment Without Medication
Struggling with depression that hasn’t responded to medication? At MindBodySoul Mental Health & Family Practice in Decatur, GA, we offer NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy designed to treat depression at the neurological source.
What Is NeuroStar TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar® TMS is a non-drug, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It’s like physical therapy for your brain—no anesthesia, no sedation, and no systemic side effects.
✔ FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
✔ Over 6.6 million treatments delivered nationwide
✔ 83% of patients report improvement; 62% achieve remission
How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work?
Unlike antidepressants that circulate throughout your body, TMS therapy targets your brain directly. Here’s how:
You relax in a comfortable chair while a small, magnetic coil is positioned near your scalp.
Magnetic pulses stimulate dormant brain regions that control mood.
You remain awake, alert, and can return to your day immediately.
Typical treatment: 36 sessions over 6–7 weeks
Session time: 19–37 minutes
Who Is TMS Therapy For?
You may be a candidate for TMS if you:
Have Major Depressive Disorder that hasn’t improved with medications
Want to avoid side effects like weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction
