Learn About Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared treatment for depression and OCD. TMS is non-invasive, non-medication, and approved by most insurances.

How Does TMS Work?

TMS uses MRI technology to target specific brain areas associated with mood. By changing neuronal activity, TMS helps normalize brain function in people with depression and other conditions. TMS can promote brain flexibility by helping the brain form new connections, aiding recovery in underactive areas. It may also change the levels of brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, important for mood and motivation.

Is TMS Right For You?

You may be a candidate for TMS if you have:

  • Been diagnosed with major depression or OCD

  • Tried antidepressants without success

  • Received therapy within the last 5 years

  • Experienced symptoms or side effects that have interfered with your relationships, leisure activities, or career

How It Works

The TMS Experience

We will assess if you are a suitable candidate for TMS. Sometimes, an MRI will be used to map your brain for targeting treatment location. Typically, a course of treatment is 30 sessions. TMS is administered 5 days a week for 6 weeks, and lasts about 20-40 minutes each session. Each day, you will sit in a comfortable chair while treatment takes place. You can relax - or even watch TV! At the end of the session, you are immediately able to return to work, school, and normal activities. 

Why TMS Is Different at Delve Psychiatry

At Delve, we use different TMS technologies to treat behavioral health conditions. One of our devices combines functional MRI (fMRI) with TMS to enhance the precision and efficacy. The fMRI image provides detailed maps of brain activity, enabling targeted and personalized TMS interventions.
