Our commitment to providing innovative treatment options, like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), is aimed at helping you regain control of your mental health and foster a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Understanding Major Depressive Disorder
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a common mental health condition marked by persistent and distressing symptoms that hinder the ability to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This can lead to various emotional and physical challenges, making daily activities at work and home increasingly difficult. If left untreated, MDD can disrupt the Salience Network's neural pathways, further deteriorating mental health and well-being.
Effects of Depression
Salience Network Role
The Salience Network regulates mood and attention, determining which thoughts and feelings we focus on. It serves as the brain’s emotional control center.
Disruption in MDD
In Major Depressive Disorder, connectivity within the Salience Network is impaired, leading to difficulties in regulating emotions and increased sadness, anxiety, and emotional detachment. Sleep disturbances are also common.
Restoring Connectivity With TMS
We provide FDA-cleared, non-invasive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy to stimulate underactive brain areas. By enhancing communication in the Salience Network, TMS facilitates recovery from depression and promotes overall well-being.
TMS Therapy for Depression
Targeted Brain Stimulation
TMS uses MRI-strength magnetic pulses to safely re-engage inactive neural pathways, enhancing emotional regulation.
Proven Efficacy
FDA-approved since 2008, approximately 85% of patients experience symptom improvement with TMS therapy.

Anxiety and Depression Together
Anxiety and depression are separate disorders, yet they frequently occur together, affecting about 50% of those with Major Depressive Disorder. This combination can intensify emotional distress and complicate treatment. A comprehensive approach, including therapies like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), can effectively address both conditions, promoting better recovery and well-being.
