For some people, antidepressant medication does not provide the level of relief they hoped for or may come with side effects that are difficult to tolerate. NeuroStar TMS is a non-systemic therapy, meaning it does not travel through the bloodstream like medication. Treatment is delivered directly in the office using magnetic pulses similar in strength to those used in MRI technology.
NeuroStar TMS does not work through the bloodstream and does not have the systemic side effects commonly associated with antidepressant medications.
