TMS Depression Treatment in Paramus, NJ

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

TMS therapy is a drug-free depression treatment, so it’s ideal for people who:

• Don’t get the desired result from anti-depressant medication
• Can’t tolerate the side effects of the medication
• Don’t want to take anti-depressant drugs

Anti-depressants do help people, but they’re not the right choice for everyone. TMS therapy can be a good alternative.

Other depression treatments, such as electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, and deep brain stimulation, involve invasive surgery or unpleasant procedures, and anesthesia.

TMS is drug-free, non-invasive, and effective.

Fewer than 5% of patients stop having TMS therapy because of side effects. For those people, there can be short-lived discomfort at or near the treatment site, during the treatment. This usually goes away after the first week of treatment.

For most people, TMS therapy starts to work within two to three weeks. For some people, it happens more quickly!

Once you’ve completed a course of treatment, the effects are long-term, but not necessarily permanent. Some people have booster treatments to maintain their results. If you need booster treatments, you’ll likely need only a few consecutive treatments per year. Insurance usually provides coverage for booster treatments.

TMS therapy is FDA-approved for depression treatment and has clinically proven results. Because of this, most insurance companies cover the treatment. If you’re not sure whether your insurance covers TMS, don’t worry!

Non-removable metal may include:

  A tattoo on your face or head that uses magnetic or metallic ink
