TREATMENT RESISTANT DEPRESSION
If you have depression but have had no progress
with talk therapy, your medication is not working or
the side effects are intolerable; you may have what is
known as treatment resistant depression.
Living with depression is hard, but Major Depressive
Disorder (MDD) can be especially painful when one
treatment after another doesn’t help. You lose hope.
Will you ever feel better?
Finding the right treatment can take time but TMS
may be the treatment that will make you feel like
yourself again.

RESISTANT MDD RESPOND
POSITIVELY TO TMS THERAPY
WHAT IS TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a series of
repetitive, brief and highly focused magnetic pulses,
designed to stimulate brain cells
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS
TMS is a safe and well tolerated treatment that is not associated with any of the systemic side effects typically experienced with antidepressants. Clinical studies show that the most common side effects are mild to moderate scalp discomfort and mild headaches, both of which are short term. *Short-term transient side effects have been noted in some cases. There have been infrequent reports of seizures associated with TMS. The
estimated seizure risk is 0.03% of treatment sessions, or <1% of patients.
WILL TMS BE COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?
TMS is covered by most insurance providers including Medicare (and also by Medicaid in some states). Prior authorization is typically required for insurance coverage - your physician will manage this process.
WHAT MIGHT I EXPECT DURING MY TMS TREATMENT?
TMS is performed in a doctor’s office or clinic. Treatment sessions last from 3 - 37.5 minutes and are typically performed 5 days per week, over a six-week period. You will be seated in a comfortable chair, some measurements may be taken and you may be provided with earplugs. Your doctor will position the magnetic coil on your head and treatment will begin. You may feel a moderate tapping on your head under the treatment coil and you will remain awake and alert throughout treatment. Following your session, you will be able to drive home and you can resume normal activities for the rest of the day.
