Interventional Psychiatry
Advanced Deep TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a highly effective, non-invasive technology-based procedure utilizing precise magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells and neuropathways that affect brain health.Â
Â
The FDA has cleared TMS to treat a range of conditions including:
 - Major depression
 - Anxiety in depression
 - OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
 - Smoking addiction
Â
Because TMS has been in clinical use for 40 years, there are additional applications that are well studied and promising that haven't been FDA cleared yet, including:Â
Â
 - High stress
 - Fatigue and sleep issues
 - Unresolved trauma
 - Substance addictions
 - Mood instability
 - Neurological and chronic pain
 - Brain fog and cognitive clarity
 - Trouble focusing and inattention
Â
There are thousands of peer-reviewed studies about TMS published in the medical literature every year because of its broad range of applications.  This treatment has generated tremendous interest because it can provide durable change for patients by treating the underlying physiological issues without medication. Â
