Who Can Benefit from TMS

TMS is a safe and effective treatment, particularly recommended for individuals whose depression has not been adequately relieved by medication or other therapies.

TMS is also recommended for patients who:

  • Wish to avoid the side effects of medication, such as sexual dysfunction and weight gain.

  • Seek to harness the neuroplasticity stimulated by the electromagnetic waves generated by the Apollo device.

  • Are committed to leveraging neuroplasticity through our self-help program, which helps transform negative thoughts and behaviors into positive ones.

About Standard TMS Treatment with Neuroplasticity Support

If your provider determines that TMS is a good and safe option for you, they’ll discuss their recommended treatment schedule. TMS involves multiple treatments—typically five per week—spread out over several weeks. For FDA-approved protocols for depression, a typical TMS course involves every weekday over six weeks with a 3-week taper period for a total of 36 treatments.

Scientific studies have shown that two out of three patients felt they benefited from TMS.

TMS can also be used for patients looking to lower the dose of antidepressant medication or for anyone hoping to cease taking medication entirely.  This would be done under the supervision of a medical doctor.  Magnetic stimulation can, therefore, be an excellent way to support this transition process.

About Flexible and Affordable TMS Therapy with Neuroplasticity Support

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an excellent treatment for depression, but we understand that not everyone can commit to the standard schedule of five sessions per week for six weeks, followed by a tapering period. Additionally, some patients face financial barriers or lack health insurance. Research indicates that reducing the frequency of sessions to three times per week can yield results comparable to the conventional schedule. While once or twice-weekly treatments are less effective, they can still provide meaningful benefits.

To make this transformative therapy more accessible, we offer each individual TMS treatment at a significantly reduced cost, less than one-third of the typical rates found at other centers. Patients who choose this option will also participate in our Neuroplasticity Therapy, which focuses on replacing negative thought patterns and behaviors with positive, life-enhancing ones. This holistic approach supports your journey to lasting mental wellness while accommodating your schedule and budget.

TMS treatment is ideal for most patients with treatment-resistant depression. TMS is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, have a history of seizures, or have any metal objects in their heads. Patients with pacemakers should first consult their cardiologist.
