FAQ

Deep TMS (Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions of the brain. It is FDA cleared for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Deep TMS works by using an H-coil to deliver magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain. These pulses are able to reach deeper brain regions than other forms of TMS. The magnetic fields stimulate the neurons in the brain, helping to improve the symptoms of depression and other conditions.

Deep TMS is FDA cleared for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is also being studied for the treatment of other conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and chronic pain.

Yes, Deep TMS is considered safe and well-tolerated. It is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any anesthesia or medication. Some patients may experience mild-to-moderate scalp discomfort or occasional headaches or dizziness, but these side effects are usually temporary and go away on their own.

A Deep TMS session usually lasts between 20-30 minutes.

The number of Deep TMS sessions required can vary depending on the condition being treated and the individual patient. Typically, a course of treatment involves 20-30 sessions, administered three times a week.

Patients may start to see improvement in their symptoms after a few weeks of treatment, but it can take several weeks for the full effects to be realized.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and Autism and have not found relief from other treatments, Deep TMS may be an option for you. You should consult a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Deep TMS is a suitable treatment option for your condition.

No, this is a misleading stigma preventing our society from addressing mental illness or psychiatric issues as just like any other illness. For fever, we take medicine and cure it quickly without any social stigma, whereas for mental illness issues, people generally avoid consulting experts, leading to unnecessary complications that could have been avoided with early treatment.

Deep TMS is a third-generation clinical treatment for mental illness. The psychiatric doctor prescribes the necessity of TMS treatment and the number of sessions to be taken after the diagnostic. However, Deep TMS treatment is non-invasive with minimal or no side effects. Kindling treatment through deep TMS is very effective in many mental disorder cases. That’s why many psychiatric’s are prescribing deep TMS treatment.

In clinical trials, it is found that when medicine for anxiety, Depression, OCD, and Autism don’t respond, the only treatment is Deep TMS which raises new hope among chronic mental disorder patients.
