TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers long-lasting improvements for depression symptoms, providing an alternative to traditional medication regimens. At Zoe Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine in Allen, TX and Dallas, TX, we specialize in TMS therapy using Magstim.

We utilize Magstim TMS therapy, well-tolerated by most patients. Our providers conduct regular follow-ups to ensure treatment effectiveness. Complementary treatments such as counseling, oral antidepressants, and lifestyle medicine are often incorporated into personalized treatment plans.

Who Can Benefit From TMS Therapy?

TMS therapy is specifically targeted at depression. While our approach at Zoe Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine integrates medication, counseling, and alternative options like esketamine nasal spray, individual responses to treatment vary.

If traditional depression treatments prove ineffective or cause significant side effects, TMS can be seamlessly integrated into your customized care plan. TMS effectively addresses symptoms such as sleepiness, insomnia, hopelessness, agitation, appetite changes, weight fluctuations, concentration issues, and suicidal thoughts.

For those experiencing depressive symptoms without a formal diagnosis, Zoe Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine offers comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, including remote telepsychiatry visits. TMS therapy may also benefit individuals with similar symptomatic presentations.

Duration of TMS Therapy Effects

A standard TMS treatment plan typically spans 4-6 weeks with five weekly sessions. At Zoe Psychiatry and Sleep Medicine, we utilize Magstim technology known for prolonged efficacy compared to other TMS therapies, providing sustained improvement for up to a year in two out of three patients.

While some individuals may require ongoing maintenance TMS treatments, this necessity varies. Our team ensures ongoing support throughout your treatment journey and beyond, collaboratively deciding on continued treatment as needed.
