Depression isn’t just emotional—it’s neurological. 🧠

Research shows that depression is linked to reduced activity in areas like the prefrontal cortex and limbic system, which regulate mood, sleep, motivation, and cognitive function.*

NeuroStar TMS therapy works by targeting these areas with magnetic stimulation to help reignite healthy brain activity and support long-lasting recovery.**

When the brain begins to heal, everything else can follow. Schedule a consultation to learn more about TMS Therapy and how it can help you or a loved one.
