Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a recognised treatment for depression and other neurological conditions.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of TMS in the treatment of depression, particularly in patients who have not responded well to anti-depressant medication.

TMS is an approved treatment for depression in Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

The most common target of TMS treatment is depression. Magnetic therapy for depression dates back to the 1980s.

Increasing evidence of TMS effectiveness, especially the TMS depression success rate, has recently led to a much wider availability of TMS therapy.

A full course of TMS therapy consists of around 30 sessions at a TMS clinic, each visit taking 30-60 minutes.

TMS therapy works by modifying the pattern of electrical currents in brain regions responsible for mood.

The precise effects depend on the areas targeted, and the number, frequency, and intensity of magnetic pulses.
