TMS is a safe, noninvasive procedure that is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression. Off-label indications for TMS include anxiety disorders, addiction, age-related cognitive decline, chronic pain, insomnia, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder), and bipolar depression. TMS appointments range from 3 to 20 minutes and do not require hospitalization or general anesthesia. Effects are generally long-lasting following 30-40 treatments.
TMS works by precisely targeting brain regions in order to modify the ways in which large-scale brain networks interact. Due to this level of precision, TMS does not result in the negative side effects typically associated with medications (weight gain, insomnia, sexual problems, memory deficits).
