What Is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non‑invasive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It uses focused magnetic pulses similar to those used in MRI technology to gently stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

When depression is present, certain neural pathways can become underactive. TMS helps “reignite” these dormant synapses, encouraging healthier brain activity over time.

TMS is:
• Not medication
• Not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
• Not surgery
• Not painful

Most patients remain awake, alert, and able to return to daily activities immediately after each session.

Is TMS Right for You?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may be a good option if you:

• Have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Have not experienced sufficient relief from antidepressant or OCD medications

• Have experienced unwanted side effects from medication

• Prefer a non-drug, non-invasive treatment approach

• Are looking for an evidence-based option when therapy and medication have not been enough on their own

TMS is not a first step for everyone, but it can be an effective next step for individuals seeking additional support. A consultation allows us to review your history, answer your questions, and determine whether TMS is appropriate for you.

  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), particularly when traditional treatments such as medication and therapy have not provided sufficient relief. TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood and behavioral regulation.

  • Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) are both evidence-based treatments for certain mental health conditions, but their mechanisms of action differ significantly.

    ECT uses controlled electrical currents delivered under anesthesia to affect brain activity more broadly. In contrast, TMS does not use direct electrical stimulation. Instead, TMS uses electromagnetic induction to generate focused magnetic pulses that act as a catalyst to increase nerve activity in specific, targeted brain regions.

    TMS is performed while you are awake, does not require anesthesia, and is non-invasive. Because of these differences, the overall treatment experience and side effect profiles differ between the two approaches.

  • No. TMS is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and does not cause seizures or memory loss.

  • Most patients describe the sensation as mild tapping on the scalp.

  • Some patients notice improvement within a few weeks, while others experience gradual changes over the full course of treatment.
