rTMS
for medication resistant patients
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment approved by the FDA and TGA to treat symptoms of depression.
What differentiates rTMS from other traditional treatments is how it uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain to interfere with mood regulation, making it a promising alternative to medication and psychotherapy for individuals who are currently treatment-resistant.
​
The effectiveness and safety of rTMS make it a reliable option for those struggling with persistent depression and has offered many patients hope for an improved quality of life.
