FAQ

Yes. Using TMS to treat depression (MDD) has been FDA approved and rigorously tested for over 10 years. Excitingly, many new treatment protocols for additional mental health conditions have been tested and FDA approved in the last several years. 

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) relies on the Faraday principle. We apply a specific and targeted magnetic field to select parts of the brain from the outside, and the brain internally converts that magnetic field into a current; providing the brain with added energy to do important things like reconnect neurons. One important consequence of this targeted stimulation is increased brain connectivity in and among core brain networks. A breakdown in network connectivity is a serious barrier to wellness. A common brain network central to many of our treatments at the Brain Health Center is the Executive Network. Many of our treatments involve stimulations to the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex, the Executive Networks primary hub.

Yes, completely. There are no persisting side effects or impairments. TMS has been around for a very long time, with hundreds of thousands of administered treatments.
