What should I expect during my TMS therapy and depression treatment?

TMS requires no medication and has little or no significant side effects. You are able to drive to and from appointments without any other support. All treatment sessions are taken seated in a very comfortable chair in a room with a deliberately calm and tranquil environment. You will remain awake and alert during the session and you are welcome to bring your phone for games, music, or a book to read. During a treatment, you will become aware of a tapping sensation or clicking sound as the stimulation is administered. The majority of patients get used to it very quickly and it becomes ambient or unnoticeable. A tiny number of patients report discomfort and this further reduces after a few more sessions as they acclimatize. Sessions can range from three to thirty-seven minutes and the number of sessions depends on your condition.

TMS works by sending a targeted pulsed magnetic field into the brain targeting nerve cells that control mood. These magnetic pulses are similar to the strength of an MRI.
