How Many Sessions Does it TMS Take?
TMS requires a series of regular sessions to be most effective. Often, the treatment plan involves 5 sessions per week for several weeks, which can help the brain to produce a more favorable balance of neurotransmitters, as well as allow the nerves in the brain to be stimulated more effectively.

How Does TMS Therapy Work?
The electromagnetic waves that are produced by the TMS device stimulate the areas of the brain that are responsible for mood control. TMS is used most often for those with depression, and is most often recommended for those patients where more traditional treatments like psychotherapy and medication have proven ineffective.

TMS Therapy for Depression in Los Angeles

TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an FDA approved therapy that creates a pulsed electromagnetic field and is targeted at specific areas of the brain that are underactive in certain conditions, such as depression. This non-invasive therapy is pain free, and each session lasts between 20 and 35 minutes. Patients can relax during the treatment, there are no drugs to administer, and there is no recovery time after each treatment, so patients may continue their daily activities once they leave the office.
