TMS is non-drug treatment for major depression. TMS uses focused magnetic pulses, similar to an MRI, to reignite dormant synapses in the brain and help your brain function the way it was meant to.
Excel Psychiatry utilizes Neurostar TMS Machine for TMS treatment.
The NeuroStar Therapy is for the treatment of depressive episodes and for decreasing anxiety symptoms for those who may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms in adult patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and who failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from previous antidepressant medication treatment in the current episode.

What does the TMS treatment feel like?
TMS treatment begins with the client sitting back in a comfortable reclining chair. The magnetic coil is designed to be painless and offer small taps to the head. This will continue for about 18 minutes. Treatments continue for five days a week, for 6-7 weeks to complete the course.

Precisely targeted Therapy makes long-term remission possible. It delivers the right dose to the right location, every time. TMS Therapy was cleared by the FDA in 2008.
