Why TMS works for depression
TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to modulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex — a region consistently implicated in depression. The standard protocol delivers 36 sessions over 4-6 weeks. Most patients see meaningful change within the first 2-3 weeks.
qEEG personalization
Standard TMS uses anatomical landmarks for coil placement. qEEG-guided TMS uses your specific brain map. The result is a protocol that matches your neurology, especially in patients with anxious depression or atypical presentations.
Insurance coverage
Most major insurers — BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna — cover TMS for medication-resistant adult depression. We handle pre-authorization and verify benefits in writing before starting.
