A Drug-Free Approach to Treating Depression: TMS Therapy at Eisenhower Health

If you’ve been struggling with depression that hasn’t improved with medication or talk therapy, there’s hope. At Eisenhower Health, patients have access to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) – a leading-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to activate areas of the brain linked to mood. This therapy offers a promising path forward for those with treatment-resistant depression, delivering relief without the side effects often associated with antidepressant medications.

Why Choose TMS at Eisenhower Health?

At Eisenhower Health, TMS therapy is delivered by a compassionate team of behavioral health professionals who provide personalized, evidence-based care. Treatment typically involves daily sessions, five days a week, over a period of four to six weeks. Each session lasts approximately 20 to 40 minutes, is pain-free, and does not require anesthesia. Most patients can return to work or daily activities immediately following treatment.

Unlike medications, TMS does not cause systemic side effects such as weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction. This makes it a viable and safe alternative for individuals who have not found relief with antidepressants.

Proven Results in Treating Depression
