How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Work?

Unlike antidepressants that circulate throughout your body, TMS therapy targets your brain directly. Here’s how:

  1. You relax in a comfortable chair while a small, magnetic coil is positioned near your scalp.

  2. Magnetic pulses stimulate dormant brain regions that control mood.

  3. 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

  • Seek a medication-free, evidence-based solution

  • Are a teen or adult diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression

Now also available for adolescents experiencing moderate to severe depression, with strong safety data supporting use in younger patients.
