What Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment designed to help patients who suffer from treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. TMS provides a safe and effective alternative to medication-based therapies and is ideal for individuals seeking long-term relief without the side effects of traditional antidepressants.
How TMS Works
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation—primarily the prefrontal cortex. These pulses encourage the brain to “reset” dysfunctional neural pathways, leading to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and enhanced cognitive function.
TMS is non-surgical, requires no sedation, and does not involve any systemic drug use. It is performed in an outpatient setting, meaning you can return to your daily routine immediately after each session.
Who Can Benefit from TMS?
TMS is an effective option for individuals who:
- Have not found relief from two or more antidepressant medications
- Prefer a drug-free alternative for managing depression or anxiety
- Experience side effects from traditional psychiatric medications
- Are seeking a non-invasive treatment with no downtime
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, our expert providers conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is the right treatment for your specific needs.
What to Expect During TMS Treatment
The TMS process at our clinic is simple, safe, and tailored to each patient’s unique mental health profile.
Initial Consultation:
You’ll begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to confirm your diagnosis and determine your eligibility for TMS.
Treatment Schedule:
TMS is typically administered five days a week over a 4 to 6-week period, with each session lasting approximately 20–40 minutes.
During Each Session:
- You’ll sit comfortably in a treatment chair.
- A small magnetic coil will be placed on your scalp.
- You’ll feel a tapping sensation as magnetic pulses stimulate your brain.
- You’ll remain awake and alert throughout the session.
Most patients experience improvements in mood and energy levels within the first few weeks of treatment.
