What is TMS?
TMS is used for treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder and Anxious Depression, often leading to complete remission from depression.
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.
Will my insurance cover it?
TMS is covered by most major insurances, Medicare, and Medicaid. LBH will reach out to your insurance company on your behalf to obtain Prior-Authorization and a benefits estimation so you know what to expect before getting started.
Patient Testimonial
“Before starting TMS treatment, I struggled with severe depression that made everyday tasks feel impossible. After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my mood and energy levels. The treatment itself was straightforward and painless, and the staff made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. TMS has truly been a life-changer for me, helping me regain control over my life and find joy again.”
