Why TMS?

When people are considering TMS, it usually means they’ve tried other methods that have failed. Most have tried many different medications spanning their entire adult lives without success. Some may have just given up hope that there may be a way out of depression. That’s why Lakeside TMS is dedicated to giving these patients another option.

What is a session like?

A TMS session typically lasts about 30-40 minutes and involves the patient sitting comfortably in a chair while a specialized electromagnetic coil is placed against their scalp, usually near the forehead. The coil sends magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain regions associated with mood regulation. Patients might hear clicking sounds and feel a tapping sensation on their head during the treatment. There is no need for anesthesia, and patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the session, as TMS is noninvasive and generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

Will it help?

In real-life community treatment settings, 20 sessions of Deep TMS produce remission rates even higher than those observed in clinical trials. Among patients who went on to complete a treatment course of 30 sessions, 75% had a response to treatment and 1 in 2 achieved full remission.
