TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, and is a physical, brain-stimulating treatment designed to tackle mental health disorders at the source: your brain. It can be applied for many of the most common and pervasive mental health disorders affecting Americans, including clinical depression, anxious depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Advanced TMS therapy works by using targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity in areas of the brain that are depressed—such as those that control mood, emotion, and behavior. It does this in a safe and controlled manner, without causing harm to the patient whatsoever. By stimulating strategic brain areas, TMS trains your brain to improve its activity independently in these key regions, over time. As a result, the symptoms of your depression are reduced.
If you are experiencing four or more of these symptoms, and are experiencing a depressed mood for more than two weeks, you may want to contact Learning to Achieve Wellness in our Brandon office about TMS therapy for depression:
There are more than just antidepressants for treating your depression.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is designed to help treat a range of mental health issues, including clinical depression and anxious depression, in adults and adolescents. TMS therapy is an option if clinical or anxious depression is interfering with your daily living and quality of life. Some of our patients approach us because their depression medication is not working, or they have had to switch between medications. Other patients, especially those with anxious depression, are worried about their medication side-effects, to the point that their worry is interfering with their daily life.
If this sounds like you, speak to our Brandon-based clinicians at Learning to Achieve Wellness about treating your depression with TMS therapy.
TMS therapy is a very successful treatment for clinical depression and anxious depression when you have not achieved relief from medication and therapy. It can also serve as merely one part of a treatment plan that also involves medication, talk therapy, or another treatment. NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy has helped thousands of patients with depression and other mental health concerns achieve long-lasting symptomatic relief.

The exact cause of depression is not known, but leading research in Neuroscience points to an imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitters as the manifestation of depression. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that send signals between brain cells. A person’s genetic make-up and life history may also determine a person’s tendency to become depressed.

Yes. The National Institute of Mental Health maintains that, “Depressive illness can often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have the disorder, but to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person.” A national study of depression found that nearly all the respondents who reported a major depressive disorder also reported that their social and/or work lives were negatively affected by their illness.1 In 2010, the economic burden of depression was estimated at $210 billion in the US2 and depression was the second leading cause of disability, accounting for almost 20% of all years of life lost to disability and premature death.3 Depression can also be a lethal disease. Each year in the US, over 30,000 people die by suicide, 60% of whom suffer from depression.4, 5
There is no known cure for depression but with effective treatment, many patients can remain symptom free. NeuroStar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is clinically proven to improve symptoms of depression that did not respond to prior antidepressant treatments and does not cause any of the side effects commonly associated with antidepressant medications.
There are many factors which can predispose certain people towards depression more than others. However, the exact causation between these factors and the occurrence of depression are still being researched and debated. Some of these risk factors include:
Virtual and In-Person appointments.
Before and After work and school hours available.
