Am I awake during TMS?

Yes. You remain awake and seated comfortably throughout treatment.

How many sessions do I need & how long is each one?

Typically, about 20-30 minutes. Your first appointment will be longer because your provider needs to map your specific treatment location.

Can I drive afterward?

Yes, it is safe to drive after a treatment session.

What happens if I miss a session?

Life happens. Missing a treatment does not mean your treatment suddenly stops working.

When can I expect results?

Many patients begin noticing improvement within 2-3 weeks of TMS treatment, including improved mood, fewer days of depression, and greater interest in connecting with others. Sometimes, friends and family notice the changes first. Completing the full treatment is important and gives patients the best chance for long-lasting relief from depression.
