Treatment-resistant depression, how TMS therapy actually works, how to verify your insurance, what to expect during your first session. Written for patients and families.
The FDA-cleared Deep TMS option for OCD when SSRIs and Exposure and Response Prevention haven't brought enough relief — how the H7 coil targets the medial prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex, the standard protocol, and the response rates patients can expect.
A concrete walkthrough of your first TMS therapy session — the paperwork, the one-time motor-threshold mapping that sets your dose, what the treatment feels and sounds like, and what a normal next 24 hours looks like.
How psychiatrists define treatment-resistant depression when one or two antidepressants haven't worked, what the evidence shows about remission after sequential medication trials, and where FDA-cleared neuromodulation options like TMS fit in the treatment pathway.
For most patients considering TMS therapy, the financial question — *will my insurance pay for this?* — needs to be answered before the clinical conversation can move forward.
Patients considering transcranial magnetic stimulation routinely ask two questions: *what does the device actually do to my brain?* and *why does that change my depression?* Both have clear, well-studied answers.
Insurance verification takes about two minutes. We'll tell you whether your plan covers TMS for treatment-resistant depression and what your cost will be — before you book anything.
