TMS Treatment for Depression

Antidepressant medications and psychotherapy are usually the first treatments for major depression. These treatments, however, do not work for everyone.

Patients who have not experienced a good response from antidepressants, or who are unable to tolerate medications, might consider TMS therapy.
