Here's How TMS Works
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions involved in mood. It's FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, performed in-clinic in daily 20–30 minute sessions over 4–6 weeks, with accelerated options available. No medication side effects, no downtime.
