Over the past decade, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a powerful treatment option for individuals whose depression has not improved with medication and therapy. At practices like Goolsby and Associates, TMS has helped many patients find meaningful relief without the need for additional medications or invasive procedures.

Now, an emerging approach called accelerated TMS (aTMS) is gaining attention. This innovative protocol delivers the same type of brain stimulation used in traditional TMS but in a more condensed timeframe. Early research suggests that accelerated TMS may offer faster symptom relief in some patients.

Understanding what accelerated TMS is and how it differs from traditional treatment can help individuals exploring options for treatment-resistant depression make informed decisions about their care.
