TMS Therapy
TMS for Depression in Miami
When TMS is considered for major depressive disorder, and what a course involves.
When TMS is considered
Usually when major depressive disorder has not improved enough with prior antidepressant treatment, or when medication was not well tolerated.
It is not right for everyone. Suitability is a clinical judgement made after reviewing your history and previous treatments.
What the evidence base covers
TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder in adults who have not achieved adequate improvement from prior antidepressant medication.
It has also been studied in other conditions. Any use outside an FDA-cleared indication is for your clinician to discuss with you — this page makes no claim about it.
How TMS differs from medication
- Device-based, not a drug
- Non-invasive, delivered in clinic
- No anaesthesia required
- Not systemic — it does not circulate in the blood
Monitoring your response
Treatment runs as a planned course with defined review points. Your clinician assesses how you are responding and will discuss alternatives if the expected benefit is not seen.
