If someone you care about seems withdrawn, overwhelmed, or just not like themselves, check in. Then be willing to stay present for the answer.

Ask, “How are you really doing?”

If you’re concerned they may be thinking about su***de, ask directly: “Are you thinking about su***de?” Asking about su***de does not put the idea in someone’s head. It can open the door to an honest conversation.

Listen without judgment or rushing to fix things. Help them connect with someone they trust, a mental health professional, or crisis support. And remember to follow up. Connection and ongoing support matter.

If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For crisis support, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Your willingness to ask, listen, and stay present can make a difference.

When depression has not improved enough with medication, it can feel like nothing will change. TMS offers a different approach.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses repeated magnetic pulses to stimulate a targeted area of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is noninvasive, FDA-cleared, and does not require anesthesia.

TMS may be an option for people who have not received enough relief from antidepressant medication or who have had difficulty tolerating side effects.

Summer can bring travel, changing routines, and fuller schedules. Even during a season that is supposed to feel relaxing, it can be easy to overlook your own well-being.

Take a moment to slow down and check in with yourself. You do not have to change everything at once. One small, intentional choice can be a meaningful place to start.

Make your mental health a priority this summer.

Sometimes, it can feel like you’ve tried everything, yet the weight of depression remains. If medication or therapy hasn’t provided enough relief, please know you still have options.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment option for major depressive disorder, often considered when antidepressant medications haven’t provided enough relief or have caused difficult side effects.

TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Because treatment is targeted rather than circulating throughout the body like medication, it does not cause the systemic side effects commonly associated with antidepressants.

TMS is performed while you’re awake, requires no anesthesia, and typically involves no downtime. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately after a session.

Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Reach out to our team to schedule a consultation and learn whether TMS may be a good fit for you.
