You sit in a comfortable reclining chair during the process and can simply relax or listen to music or a podcast. rTMS generally includes daily sessions for 3 to 6 days each week over a number of weeks. Each session runs for 20 to 30 minutes and includes several series of stimulations. It is a drug-free treatment with minimal side effects, which we will discuss with you before you get started.
Who can try TMS
We may recommend rTMS if you have depression, and antidepressant medications have not worked.
As with any treatment, there are potential risks. However, we will not recommend rTMS if we believe the risks will outweigh the benefits.
