What is TMS?
TMS — is an effective new depression treatment Without medication. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a technological breakthrough in the treatment of depression. As technology advances researchers are finding more ways to treat illnesses in the brain without medications.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a technological breakthrough in the treatment of depression and other mental health illnesses.

How it works
During an rTMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed against your scalp near your forehead. The electromagnet painlessly delivers a magnetic pulse that stimulates nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. It’s thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity in depression.
Though the biology of why rTMS works isn’t completely understood, the stimulation appears to impact how the brain is working, which in turn seems to ease depression symptoms and improve mood.
Success of TMS
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI machine. While the patient is awake and alert, TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underacting, causing anxiety, compulsive and obsessive thinking and that can result in OCD.
In August 2018, the FDA cleared Deep TMS for treating OCD. Special coils were developed to target the areas in the brain affected by OCD. The Deep TMS for OCD we use at LifeQuality TMS in Brooklyn, NY directly stimulates areas of the brain at greater depths within the brain, doing so safely and efficiently. That is why Deep TMS is the only TMS system that is approved by the FDA for OCD.

During the TMS procedure, the patient wears a padded helmet which activates the magnetic pulses. These repeated magnetic wave pulses reach the areas of the brain which are affected by the patient’s particular illness.
