What Is TMS Therapy?
TMS Therapy — A Breakthrough Treatment for Depression, Anxiety & OCD.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) targets the brain circuits behind many mental health conditions directly — no pills, no sedation, no downtime. At NeuroStim, 71.5% of our patients achieve significant improvement.
What Is TMS Therapy?
How TMS Therapy Works
Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and OCD share a common root: dysregulation in specific brain circuits. When these circuits misfire — either underactive in depression or overactive in anxiety — the result is symptoms that medication alone often can’t fully resolve.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate or calm the relevant brain regions, restoring normal neural communication. Unlike medication, TMS doesn’t circulate through your entire body — it targets the brain circuits involved in your condition.
Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes at one of our 16 treatment centers. You sit comfortably in a chair while a magnetic coil delivers pulses to the treatment area. There’s no anesthesia, no sedation, and no recovery time. Most patients drive themselves home immediately after.

Is TMS Therapy Right for You?
▼
TMS is FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder and FDA-cleared for OCD. It’s particularly effective for patients who haven’t found lasting relief from medication — what clinicians call treatment-resistant cases. Growing clinical evidence also supports TMS for anxiety disorders.
TMS can be used alongside existing treatments. Many patients continue therapy or medication while undergoing TMS, finding the combination more effective than either approach alone. Your NeuroStim clinician will work with your existing care team to build the right plan.
*TMS is FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder (2008) and FDA-cleared for OCD (2018). TMS for anxiety is considered off-label but supported by growing clinical evidence. Your clinician will assess whether TMS is appropriate for your specific diagnosis.
