Proven Safe and Effective. TMS is a premier alternative treatment for depression.
About TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a safe, effective, innovative FDA-approved therapy for
the treatment of Major Depression and certain other neuropsychiatric disorders. Using highly focused,
MRI-strength magnetic pulses, TMS activates specific regions of the brain that regulate mood.
TMS uses the same powerful magnetic fields as MRIs, which have been used in tens of millions of
patients around the world. It is a short outpatient procedure performed by Dr. Vine and his highly-trained,
experienced staff in the outpatient mental health clinic at Psych Recovery, Inc.
Unlike medications, which act throughout the entire body, TMS does not cause side effects, such as weight
gain or sexual dysfunction. TMS does not cause cognitive side effects or memory problems that are sometimes
associated with electro-convulsive therapy (ECT). TMS Therapy does not use anesthesia or sedation, so
patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Who is TMS for?
If you are suffering from depression, you should seek treatment. Clinical depression is a very serious
and painful condition when left untreated. In the case where antidepressants are ineffective or may
produce undesirable side effects, TMS is a great alternative therapy.
