About Us
Brain Health Center PSC is a specialized mental health practice that serves adults and children in Lexington, Kentucky, and its surrounding counties.
Led by psychiatrist Jacob Bishop, MD, the Medical Director of Brain Health Center, the practice provides cutting-edge psychiatric treatment for a wide range of mental health disorders. In addition, the practice is currently the only provider of cutting-edge transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy in Lexington.
TMS is a safe, non-invasive 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 to modify how large-scale brain networks interact. Due to this level of precision, TMS does not result in the adverse side effects typically associated with medications (weight gain, insomnia, sexual problems, memory deficits).
To learn more about the benefits of TMS and how it could help with your mental health issues, call Brain Health Center today or book an appointment using the online tool.

Testimonials
Highly recommend Dr Peter Gager for aviation-related testing. I drove 3 hours to meet with him, though others were closer. It was certainly worth it.
I am very grateful to Dr. Gager and Dr. Bishop for providing TMS for people like me who have treatment-resistant depression. Both doctors are genuinely compassionate people who care about the well-being and healing of their patients. I highly recommend the Brain Health Center to anyone who is clinically depressed not only because both doctors are excellent, but also because TMS offers a very effective treatment for depression. Drs. Gager and Bishop and their TMS treatments have changed my life; in fact, they have given me my life back!
I cannot say enough good things about the Brain Health Center, especially Dr. Bishop and Dr. Gager. They are very knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest research and technology used in TMS treatment. At first I had a lot of anxiety (and lots of questions) about TMS, but after my initial consultation I left with all of my questions answered feeling confident that TMS was the right choice for me. Dr. Gager and Dr. Bishop are very relatable and truly care about you as a person. From the very first appointment to the last you will always be treated with respect, compassion and dignity. You will never be “just a number” at the Brain Health Center.
