At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we proudly provide **TMS therapy** to patients seeking lasting relief from treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders.

With a focus on personalized care and cutting-edge technology, our team of board-certified psychiatrists helps patients rediscover emotional balance through innovative mental health treatments like TMS.

What Is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain—specifically the areas involved in mood regulation. It’s a promising option for people who have not achieved relief with antidepressants or who want to avoid the side effects of medication.

Here’s how TMS works:

• A magnetic coil is gently placed on the scalp
• Magnetic pulses target the prefrontal cortex (the area related to mood control)
• These pulses help activate underperforming neurons, improving mood and brain function
• Sessions last about 20–40 minutes, five days a week, over four to six weeks

Patients remain awake, alert, and able to resume daily activities immediately after each session.

Benefits of TMS Therapy

TMS is widely regarded as one of the most effective alternative treatments for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Key benefits include:

• Non-invasive and drug-free
• No sedation or anesthesia required
• Minimal side effects, typically mild scalp discomfort or lightheadedness
• No systemic side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or fatigue
• Long-lasting results for many patients, even after therapy ends

TMS is also being explored for conditions beyond depression, including anxiety, OCD, and PTSD.
