rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
TMS Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
At Psychiatric Care Florida, we specialize in helping individuals who continue to suffer from depression despite trying multiple medications and therapies. For those facing Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), we offer repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)—a safe, non-invasive, and FDA-approved treatment designed to target the root neurological causes of persistent depressive symptoms.
TMS was originally developed in the 1980s for brain mapping, but its therapeutic potential soon became clear. In 2008, the FDA approved rTMS specifically for the treatment of TRD, recognizing its ability to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation without the need for medication or anesthesia.
Unlike traditional treatments, TMS therapy directly targets the underactive regions of the brain associated with depression by delivering gentle, high-frequency magnetic pulses. These pulses help rewire brain circuits and improve overall emotional processing. TMS is conducted right in our office and requires no downtime, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking a science-backed solution that fits into everyday life.
Our TRD treatment protocol consists of 36 sessions, each lasting approximately 18 minutes, delivered daily over the course of several weeks. Most commercial insurance plans cover TMS for TRD, and our team is here to assist with eligibility and pre-authorization.
If you or someone you love is struggling with chronic depression that hasn’t responded to standard care, TMS may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Our experienced clinicians are here to help you explore this advanced, neuroscience-based treatment in a compassionate and supportive environment.
