Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - TMS. That may sound scary at first. But would it still be scary if we showed you that all it means is sitting 20 minutes on a treatment chair with a clicking sound close by you? No medications, non-invasive, no anesthesia, and definitely not to be confused with ECT.
TMS is a non-invasive treatment of depression that uses magnetic waves to stimulate the nerve cells in the brain. Our team of experienced psychiatrists use it - successfully - for patients who have not seen much improvement with antidepressants. Time over time again have we seen tremendous improvements with their depression for our patients we treat. Here's what some of our patients say about the effects of our TMS treatment:
| "I gained my quality of life back I did not know I lost. Now I know that there is hope, I know I can tackle the areas I still need to work on. What a difference!" | "At first I was skeptical, because I tried everything and nothing had helped. But I trust Dr. Galal and his team, he is just great. TMS felt like little knocks on my head, it was actually quite funny. Now, after my sessions are done, I am ready. I want to get off my medication too. I want to live." |
TMS treatment runs over 36 sessions, with typically 5 sessions per week. Each session lasts just a little over 18 minutes. The insurances we are working with are covering the treatment. In case there is any paperwork involved, our front desk team will gladly help you with it.
