Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is an effective non-medication treatment option for depression and other psychiatric disorders and symptoms. It is FDA-approved for treating Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It has many potential “off-label” benefits and is associated with virtually no side effects.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation was approved by the FDA in 2008. The treatment process includes a person sitting on a designated therapy chair where they receive MRI-strength magnetic pulses that are used to excite brain nerve cells. This method of treatment has been proven to alleviate depression and OCD symptoms.
With TMS being renowned for its positive effects in addressing depression symptoms, it has become widely covered by most major insurance providers. If you are interested in learning more about payments we receive for the treatments we offer, including the TMS, please click on your state at our Locations tab.
The individual undergoing TMS will get magnetic pulses that can stimulate brain neurons, causing them to become active. The treatment session typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes. Another good thing about this treatment is that it is 100% proven safe. Individuals can drive back home unassisted after their sessions and are free to resume their normal daily activities.
*You do not need to be a current patient of CASTLE HEALTHCARE SERVICES INC. to enroll in our TMS outpatient treatment.
