Depression Treatment Center in Jacksonville, FL

TMS therapy is different from other treatments in three important ways:

Not everyone’s depression benefits from antidepressant medications.

• Some people don’t get the expected benefits from medication.
• Some people can’t tolerate the side effects they have on medication.
• Some people simply prefer not to take medication to deal with their depression.

If you can’t or don’t want to take medication for depression, TMS therapy may be a viable alternative.

There are other depression treatments, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), deep brain stimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation. But these involve invasive or unpleasant procedures and require anesthesia. TMS therapy is an alternative that isn’t invasive or unpleasant and doesn’t require anesthesia.

Only 5% of people discontinue TMS therapy because of side effects. The side effect these people experience is typically limited to temporary discomfort at or near the treatment site. This generally occurs during a TMS session and goes away after the first week of treatment.

Most people see some benefit from TMS therapy within two or three weeks of starting treatments. For some, the benefits come even sooner!

The positive effects of TMS therapy last a long time, but booster treatments are sometimes needed to stay free from depression. Most people who require booster treatments usually only need a few consecutive sessions a year. In most cases, insurance covers the cost of booster treatments.

Because TMS therapy has documented success in treating depression, most insurance companies cover treatment.

We want you to have all the information you need to make the best choice for you!

When you become a patient at Sucess TMS Treatment Centers Jacksonville, we’ll create a written schedule with full details of your course of treatment. You’ll receive this at the start of treatment, so you can make travel arrangements or any other accommodations you need to. A typical treatment schedule lasts four to six weeks.

Most people with depression can benefit from TMS therapy, but a small number of people are ineligible for non-treatment-related reasons. This includes people who have non-removable metal in or on their head because magnetic energy reacts unfavorably with metal. You may be ineligible if you have any of the following:

• A medical device implanted in your head, such as a vagus nerve or deep brain stimulator, or a cochlear implant
• Bullets or shrapnel
• A facial tattoo that uses metallic or magnetic ink
  Some dental work (Most dental work is okay.)

A session of TMS therapy at our Jacksonville Sucess TMS Treatment Center takes 18 to 19 minutes. A typical course of TMS therapy involves four to six weeks of treatment—up to five sessions a week.
