What Is TMS Therapy?

TMS therapy uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions tied to mood regulation. It is FDA-approved for major depressive disorder and is especially effective when antidepressant medications haven't worked. At our San Diego center, TMS is delivered as part of a coordinated mental health treatment plan.

TMS is especially effective for individuals who:

Struggle with treatment-resistant depression
Have not responded to, or cannot tolerate, antidepressant medications
Experience side effects from medication that limit their use
Are seeking a non-pharmacological, non-invasive approach to mental health care

Emerging research also supports TMS for other conditions, including anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.
