How it works
Targeted stimulation, without medication
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) sends focused magnetic pulses to the regions of the brain that regulate mood. Over a course of sessions, this helps those areas become more active and better connected.
Because nothing enters your bloodstream, there are no systemic drug side effects. It's a good fit for people who haven't found relief with medication or therapy alone, or who would rather avoid adding another medication.
- FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder in adults
- Non-invasive and pain-free, with no anesthesia
- About 30 minutes per session, no recovery time
- Can be used on its own or paired with ketamine
