TMS – Non-Invasive Breakthrough in Mental Health Treatment
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we are proud to offer TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)—an advanced, FDA-approved treatment option for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. TMS is especially beneficial for those who have not found relief through traditional medications or therapy. If you're looking for a drug-free, non-invasive, and effective solution, TMS could be the answer you've been searching for.
What Is TMS Therapy?
TMS is a cutting-edge psychiatric treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, particularly in areas responsible for mood regulation. It’s primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), especially in patients who have not responded to at least two antidepressants—a condition known as treatment-resistant depression.
The magnetic pulses used in TMS are similar in strength to those used in MRI machines and are delivered through a coil placed on the scalp. This stimulation helps restore normal brain activity and alleviate depressive symptoms without the side effects commonly associated with medications.
Benefits of TMS Treatment
Patients at Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness experience several advantages with TMS therapy, including:
- Non-invasive and painless procedure
- No anesthesia or sedation required
- Minimal to no side effects
- No recovery or downtime after sessions
- Effective for individuals with treatment-resistant depression
- Improvement often seen within a few weeks of starting treatment
TMS is administered on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to continue their daily activities before and after each session.
What to Expect During Your TMS Journey
Your TMS treatment at Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation to determine your eligibility and create a personalized care plan.
Typical TMS Treatment Schedule:
- Sessions are conducted 5 days a week
- Each session lasts approximately 20–40 minutes
- A full course typically spans 4–6 weeks, followed by maintenance sessions if necessary
During the session, you’ll sit comfortably while the magnetic coil targets the prefrontal cortex, a region involved in mood regulation. Most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping on the scalp and experience no pain.

TMS is a powerful treatment option for patients who:
- Have not improved with traditional antidepressants
