When depression has not lifted
Many people arrive after a long stretch of medication changes that helped a little, or not enough. That experience has a name we take seriously: treatment-resistant depression. It does not mean you are out of options. It means the next step should be chosen carefully.
TMS therapy stimulates mood-related areas of the brain directly, rather than working through the whole body the way a pill does. For some adults, that is a meaningful difference.
Is TMS right for your depression?
TMS may be appropriate for adults who:
- Have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder.
- Have tried at least one antidepressant without full relief.
- Want a non-drug option, or cannot tolerate medication side effects.
- Are looking for care that tracks progress instead of guessing.
We screen carefully and explain honestly if TMS is not the right fit. The only way to know is a conversation.

TMS for depression: common questions
Can TMS help if antidepressants have not worked?
TMS is most often used for adults whose depression has not fully responded to medication. It works differently from a pill, and many people consider it after one or more antidepressants have fallen short. A consultation tells us whether it is a reasonable fit for you.
How is TMS different from medication?
Medication is taken daily and works through the whole body. TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate mood-related areas of the brain directly, during short in-office sessions, with no systemic drug effects.
Will I have to stop my medication?
Not necessarily. Many people continue their current treatment during TMS. Any changes are decided with your prescriber, not made automatically.
How soon might I notice a change?
Responses vary. Some people notice changes within a few weeks, others later in the course or not at all. We track your symptoms so decisions are based on how you are actually doing.
Is TMS safe?
TMS is non-invasive and FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder. You stay awake, there is no anesthesia, and the most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort or headache. We review risks and alternatives before you start.
