What Is TMS Therapy?

TMS is a noninvasive procedure used to treat major depressive disorder. It’s often a helpful solution for patients who have tried other standard treatments, such as therapy and medication, and want to pursue alternative help.

The treatment works by directing recurring magnetic pulses toward parts of the brain that control your mood. When done repeatedly, the magnetic pulses can improve the communication between these various regions of the brain, easing depression symptoms and boosting your mood. The treatment providers at Principium, located in midtown Manhattan, provide exceptional TMS therapy to patients in need of effective care for depression.
