TMS therapy is considered a safe and more effective approach to treating depression. Unlike medications, TMS does not cause debilitating side effects, such as those referenced above. The only side effects of TMS is discomfort at the site of treatment or headache - both of which typically subsides after the first few treatments if experienced. The Star*D Study proved the rate of efficacy of antidepressants in the use of depression was relatively low. Further, this study confirmed that the rate of efficacy (effectiveness) drops significantly with each new antidepressant medication trial. By the time a person is on their fourth medication trial, they have about a 6.9% chance that the medication will even be effective.

Depression is one of the most common mental health illnesses affecting more than 16 million adults in the U.S. every year. By 2022, with the impact of COVID, depression, and anxiety will affect more than two out of every five adults. Medications are not the only answer and are certainly not effective for many individuals. In a nutshell, depression is a depletion of brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that occur in an area of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (just above the left eyebrow). These neurotransmitters include serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Serotonin is the most widely studied neurotransmitter in the case of depression.
