Is TMS therapy a good alternative for patients who are fearful of the side effects associated with antidepressant medications?

NeuroStar TMS Therapy has been cleared by U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with depression who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant treatment.

• NeuroStar is non-systemic, so it doesn’t have side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc.
• Like any treatment option, patients and clinicians should work together to find the most appropriate treatment option for each patient.
