Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) education

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Public FDA materials describe TMS devices cleared for certain depression indications under clinician supervision.

People exploring TMS often want to understand what sessions involve, how TMS differs from medication, and what the schedule may look like. Write down those questions along with treatments you have already tried.

Use Mood Guide to learn more, then request a consultation when you are ready to discuss your history and questions with the team.
