"Is therapy right for me?

"We specialize in treating patients with mood disorders using a technique called repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Many of our patients have either experienced side-effects from existing anti-depressant medications, or have not responded favorably to anti-depressant medications. Our approach is both free from lasting side-effects and FDA-approved. People usually come in 5 days a week for about 4-6 weeks in order to get the greatest effect. Unlike traditional psychiatry, TMS does not require the use of medication."
