Not all TMS treatments are the same. Here’s a quick breakdown:
🔹 TMS (standard TMS): Uses a focused coil to stimulate specific regions of the brain. Sessions typically last 20–40 minutes.
🔹 Deep TMS: Uses an “H-coil” that reaches deeper brain structures, potentially broadening the area of stimulation.
🔹 Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS): A newer form of TMS that delivers bursts of stimulation in just 3–6 minutes per session, with similar efficacy to standard TMS.

The right approach depends on your unique needs and medical history. Our team can help guide you toward the best treatment plan. Please call (303) 884-3867 for your FREE phone consult.

Depression is more than “just feeling sad.” It can affect your sleep, appetite, energy, focus, and even your drive to connect with life.

💡 What you can do:
1️⃣ Start with self-care – Gentle exercise (like a 20-min walk) can help. Talking with friends or helping others can lift your mood.
2️⃣ Seek professional help – If symptoms last more than a few weeks, counseling or therapy is a great first step.
3️⃣ Explore medical options – Antidepressants, TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), and infusion therapy can offer relief when therapy alone isn’t enough.

⚠️ Important:

Alcohol can interfere with treatment—cutting back or abstaining is best.
If you have suicidal thoughts, reach out for help immediately.
Depression is treatable. The right combination of support, therapy, and treatment can make a real difference.

💬 If you’ve been feeling persistently down, it’s okay to ask for help. You deserve to feel better.
