Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Deep TMS?

Deep TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain linked to mood. It is used to treat major depressive disorder and other conditions.

Deep TMS reaches deeper brain regions. This allows it to target broader brain networks involved in depression and emotional regulation.

Most people feel a tapping sensation on the scalp. Any discomfort is usually mild and improves after the first few sessions around the right temple area. 

Yes. Deep TMS is FDA cleared and has been used for many years. Serious side effects are rare when proper screening is done.

No. Deep TMS does not cause memory loss or problems with thinking. Patients stay awake and alert during treatment.

Each session usually lasts about 15-20 minutes, but you are allotted 30 minutes for your session so that you do not feel rushed in or out. You can return to normal activities right after.

Many patients notice improvement after three to four weeks. Some feel changes in mood or energy sooner.

Not usually. Many patients continue their current medications during Deep TMS, but may choose to wean off of them if remission is achieved. Your provider will guide you based on your situation.

Most insurance plans cover Deep TMS for severe major depressive disorder and OCD. Coverage depends on medical necessity and your plan details.

Generally if you have taken 2-4 medications and done at least 4-6 weeks of counseling, TMS will be covered with a referral from your psychiatric practitioner.
