What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses strong, magnetic pulses distributed through a coil to regulate the neural activity of brain structures associated with depression.
No Systemic Side Effects
While you may feel slight pressure on top of your head, most patients adapt to the sensation after just a couple of sessions.
Medication Free
Rest assured, you do not have to start a new medication regimen throughout TMS.

Jose
"Dr Sanjoy has been my psychiatrist for the last 3 years aswell as my daughter's psychiatrist. He has always responded to our medical needs promptly and with much patience. Whether it's a phone call which he always returns it on the same day or an appointment. I highly recommend him. He is very patient and a good listener."
Tracey
"Dr.Sathpathy has been a gift to my family for the past 18 months. He was recommended to us by an acquaintance who said he saved her son's life. And I now feel the same about his treatment of my son. I agree with others who say he is extremely patient and a fantastic listener. He asks very specific questions that no one has ever asked before (and we've seen LOTS of professionals). He has been compassionate, caring, thoughtful, analytical, and humble. Dr. Sathpathy also considers any questions or outside suggestions without judgment or defensiveness, and explains his decisions backed with science and research. I would 100% recommend if your child is struggling."
Max
"For the first time in 10 years of psychiatric care, I feel like I have found a Doctor who actually listens and cares about helping me. Dr. Sathpathy is amazing, and his staff are very friendly and efficient!"

What is TMS?
TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is an alternative treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, but it is most commonly used to treat major depression and anxiety. This non-invasive therapy involves using a targeted magnetic field to stimulate under-active neurons in specific parts of the brain. TMS therapy typically takes about 6 weeks and is over 70% effective for providing long-term relief from depression symptoms.
How does TMS work?
Depression is caused by a lack of sufficient activity in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, essentially the front left part of your brain. When this area is working properly, the entire brain lights up, creating an improved mood, working memory, and selective attention. TMS works by using magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This is done by placing a magnetic coil near the head, which produces magnetic pulses that stimulate the nerve cells in the targeted area.
Is TMS for me?
TMS may be a good option for individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments for depression, such as medication and psychotherapy. However, it is important to speak with a mental health professional to determine if TMS is right for you.
What is TMS like? Do I feel anything?
During TMS treatment, you can sit comfortably and perform passive activities like reading a book, watching TV, or listening to music. Most patients report that TMS treatment feels like a gentle tapping sensation on the skull. Some patients experience a tingling or scalp sensitivity at the stimulation site during treatment, which can typically be mitigated by placing the device at a slightly different angle.
Are there any side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects of TMS therapy include mild headache, scalp discomfort during stimulation, and lightheadedness, all of which are typically resolved shortly after the treatment session or within the first week. Many patients report no side effects at all.
Is TMS covered by insurance?
Yes, TMS therapy is covered by almost all major insurance companies, depending on your insurance plan. Insurance plans can also have requirements for coverage, such as a prior history of antidepressant medication use or therapy treatments.
