NeuroMed TMS Centers, LLC is a leading provider of comprehensive mental health care in Tennessee. At NeuroMed, we specialize in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), the first and only FDA-cleared treatment for depression that does not require surgery or medication. TMS is a safe and effective therapy that has also been shown to improve conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, OCD, addiction, ADHD, eating disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and chronic pain.

During TMS treatment, you can relax in a comfortable chair while a TMS magnet gently delivers low-dose magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain. Unlike medications, TMS treatment is non-systemic, meaning it doesn't have the side effects associated with traditional antidepressants. The most common side effect is a mild headache during the initial treatments, which is well tolerated.

TMS therapy consists of 4-6 weeks of sessions, 5 days per week, with each session lasting between 20 and 40 minutes. You can drive yourself to and from appointments and engage in activities like reading, watching TV, or using electronic devices during treatment. TMS works by stimulating specific structures in the brain responsible for mood regulation using short pulses of magnetic energy.

This targeted stimulation helps activate underactive circuits associated with depression, leading to improved mood and overall well-being. Rest assured that TMS therapy is safe and well-tolerated, with very few side effects. It has been extensively researched and approved by the FDA since 2008.

Furthermore, TMS therapy does not expose you to the range of side effects commonly associated with psychiatric medications, such as weight gain, sexual side effects, insomnia, and drowsiness.
