TMS therapy may be effective if you have not been responding to oral antidepressants.
TMS therapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment option for patients living with depression.
During TMS treatment, we will use a magnetic coil to stimulate underactive areas of your brain that are involved with mood management.

Evolve Health TMS therapy is available by referral only. You must get a referral from your doctor or mental health provider to receive TMS therapy. There are guidelines for approval and doctor recommendations, but we can work with you to get through the paperwork.

Evolve Health TMS therapy is an offered treatment that utilizes the depression protocol of 19 minute sessions. These sessions are once a day, five days a week for six weeks (30 sessions). Then the treatment will taper down to six sessions over two to three weeks.
You sit in a chair in a relaxed position. When the magnetic pulses are delivered you hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head. Many patients can watch television or read during treatment. Music is enjoyed, too.
TMS treatment is without the side effects typically experienced with antidepressants, such as weight gain and sexual dysfunction. TMS may, for some, cause headache or nausea, but you should be able to resume your daily activities right after treatment. However, please note that TMS therapy is a medical procedure and any side effects experienced during or after receiving the therapy should be reported to your doctor.
