What is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in specific areas of the brain. It is primarily used to treat depression, especially for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments like medication or psychotherapy.

What is TMS Therapy Used to Treat?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is primarily used to treat mental health and neurological conditions that are resistant to conventional treatments such as medication and psychotherapy. Here are the key conditions it is used for:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD):

  • MDD is the primary use of TMS therapy.
  • Particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression, where antidepressants and therapy have not been successful.
  • Stimulates the left prefrontal cortex to increase neural activity associated with mood regulation.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD):

  • FDA-cleared for adults with moderate to severe OCD.
  • Targets brain areas involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

 Anxiety Disorders:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Panic Disorder
  • Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)
  • Targets the right prefrontal cortex to reduce overactivity in areas associated with fear and worry.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):

  • Can help reduce intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and anxiety.
  • Targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and other areas involved in emotional regulation.

Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia:



  • Reduces pain perception by stimulating the motor cortex and areas involved in pain processing.
  • Can be combined with physical therapy for better outcomes.

Why TMS Therapy at Peace of Mind?

  • Non-Invasive: No surgery or anesthesia.


  • Well-Tolerated: Minimal side effects compared to medications.


  • Targeted: Focuses on specific brain regions without affecting the entire brain.



  • Effective for Treatment-Resistant Conditions: Especially useful for patients who haven’t responded to medication or therapy.
