What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive therapy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). It uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, specifically the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
TMS helps “wake up” under-active neural pathways so your brain can function the way it was meant to. At Anew Psychiatry, we use the Cloud TMS system, known for its comfort, reliability, and precise brain-targeting technology.
How TMS Works?
During depression, certain neural circuits become underactive. TMS uses magnetic pulses (similar strength to an MRI) to stimulate these neurons.
This stimulation:
-
Strengthens communication between mood-related brain regions
-
Supports healthier neurotransmitter activity
-
Promotes long-term improvement in emotional regulation
-
Helps the brain form new, healthier neural pathways (neuroplasticity)
-
TMS does not use electricity, does not require anesthesia, and does not cause memory loss.
Who is a Good Candidate?
TMS may be appropriate for adults who:
-
Have depression that has not improved with medication
-
Experience significant side effects from antidepressants
-
Prefer a non-medication treatment option
-
Want a long-lasting, evidence-based alternative to traditional therapy
TMS is also approved for OCD, and ongoing research supports benefits for anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions.
