For adults with depression who have not achieved improvement from antidepressant medication, NeuroStar TMS therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-drug, non-invasive treatment option.†​

Schedule your consultation to learn more about treatment options and support available through NeuroStar.​

For adolescents struggling with depression, NeuroStar TMS offers an FDA-cleared, non-invasive adjunct treatment option for ages 15–21.​

This school year, make mental health part of the conversation. Learn more about NeuroStar TMS therapy by scheduling your consultation today.

What exactly is TMS? 🤔​

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-drug, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.*​

Treatment takes place right in a doctor's office, requires no anesthesia, and patients can return to their normal daily activities afterward.​

If antidepressants haven't provided the relief you were hoping for, NeuroStar TMS may be an option worth exploring. 💜​Schedule a consultation to learn more.

Let’s talk about TMS! 🧠

We’ve had so many people interested in learning more about our TMS treatment in Newport - so let’s break down exactly what it is.

☑️ So… what exactly is TMS?

TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood and emotional regulation.

For depression, treatment is typically focused on the left prefrontal cortex - an area at the front of the brain that can show reduced activity in people with depression. The magnetic pulses pass through the scalp and skull and stimulate nerve cells in the targeted area, influencing brain networks involved in mood regulation.

Think of it like repeatedly exercising a brain circuit that isn’t functioning as effectively as it should.

☑️ So why does TMS take several weeks?

Because the goal is not one big burst of stimulation - it’s repeated, targeted treatment. Over time, repeated TMS treatments are thought to promote neuroplasticity or (if you’ve heard me talk about the brain before) our brain’s ability to strengthen and reorganize its connections.

That’s why a full course usually includes multiple sessions each week over several weeks.

☑️ What makes NeuroStar different?

NeuroStar is one of the most established FDA-cleared TMS systems available and uses focused magnetic stimulation along with technology designed to support consistent treatment positioning and delivery.

That means treatment is mapped and measured, allowing us to return to the prescribed treatment location from session to session rather than simply guessing where to place the coil each day.

☑️ NeuroStar is FDA-cleared for:
• Major Depressive Disorder in adults who have not had satisfactory improvement with prior antidepressant treatment
• Decreasing anxiety symptoms in adults with MDD who also experience anxiety symptoms
• Adjunctive treatment of OCD in adults
• Adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adolescents ages 15–21

No anesthesia. You stay awake and alert during treatment, and most people can return to their normal activities, including driving, afterward.

Medication works throughout the body. TMS allows us to directly stimulate a specific area of the brain and the networks connected to it.

Interested in learning whether TMS may be an option for you? Contact Bigger Skies Mental Health to learn more or stop by our Newport location on the 25th to celebrate Dolly Parton at “DollyPort” this Friday!
