Understanding Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we are committed to providing innovative, science-backed treatments for individuals struggling with mental health disorders. One of the most effective and non-invasive therapies we offer is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)—a breakthrough treatment for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders.
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an FDA-approved, non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) in individuals who have not found relief through conventional medications or psychotherapy.
During a TMS session, a magnetic coil is placed against the scalp, delivering focused magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex—the area of the brain most associated with mood control.
How Does TMS Work?
The human brain operates through electrical signals. When certain areas underperform or become less active, such as in cases of depression, a person's mood, energy, and behavior can be negatively affected. TMS therapy works by reactivating these areas through repetitive magnetic pulses. This stimulation encourages the brain to function more normally, resulting in noticeable improvements in mood and emotional stability.
Unlike traditional treatments, TMS does not involve systemic medication, sedation, or invasive procedures, making it a well-tolerated and safe alternative for many patients.
Benefits of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Choosing Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness offers several advantages:
Non-invasive and drug-free: No medications or anesthesia required
Minimal side effects: Most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort or headache
High success rates: Many patients experience significant improvement in depressive symptoms
No downtime: You can resume normal activities immediately after each session

TMS is ideal for adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder, especially those who have not responded well to at least two antidepressant medications. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, our expert psychiatric team conducts a detailed evaluation to determine whether TMS is an appropriate treatment based on your symptoms, history, and goals.
