The TMS program at McLean Hospital focuses on delivering care for individuals facing intense depression, particularly those with cases resistant to standard medications where relief has been elusive or side effects have occurred. This service is available at the primary site in Belmont and McLean Southeast in Middleborough. TMS is a non-intrusive approach that does not involve anesthesia or sedation. Individuals encounter no constraints on their daily routines prior to sessions, and without any body-wide or mental side effects such as concentration issues, they can promptly return to their normal schedule. Utilizing electromagnetic waves, TMS targets and activates neurons in the brain's frontal region. Sessions typically last under an hour, with patients remaining fully aware, engaged, and relaxed. A usual regimen includes 20 to 30 sessions across four to six weeks, held five days weekly. Each treatment plan is personalized based on the person's needs and determined through an initial review.
