>> ABOUT TMS THERAPY: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy  is a safe and effective treatment for individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not experienced satisfactory improvement from antidepressant medication or who feel medication is causing unwanted side effects. TMS Therapy can be used as stand-alone treatment or used in conjunction with medication.

Greenbrook TMS utilizes TMS devices that are FDA-cleared and indicated for the treatment of MDD. These devices delivers magnetic pulses, stimulating specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. These areas are known to be underactive in those diagnosed with depression, & stimulating these areas can improve the brain’s ability to regulate mood.
