Is TMS Right for Me?

University Place TMS Clinic & General Psychiatry

If medication hasn’t worked—or the side effects are too much—TMS may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

When Traditional ApproachesAren’t Enough:
Advantages of TMS

TMS is especially helpful for people who:

• Have tried 2 or more antidepressants or medications with little to no relief

•Experience unpleasant side effects from medication

• Want to avoid increasing dosages or starting another prescription

• Prefer a non-drug, non-invasive alternative

• Are looking for an outpatient option that fits into everyday life.

If that sounds like you—or someone you care about—you’re not alone. TMS has helped thousands of people find relief after years of frustration with standard treatments.

You May Be a Candidate
If You…

Are 18 or older and struggling with Major Depressive Disorder, OCD, Anxious Depression, or Late-Life Depression
Have already tried therapy, medication, or both
Don’t have any contraindications (like a history of seizures or metal implants in the skull)
Are ready to explore a safe, well-tolerated treatment backed by science

We’ll go over all of this with you during a consultation to make sure Deep TMS is the right fit.

Important Safety Considerations

While TMS is safe for most adults, it is not recommended for individuals who:

Have non-removable metal in or near the head (e.g., cochlear implants, deep brain stimulators, aneurysm clips)
Have a history of seizures or epilepsy
Have recent traumatic brain injury or unstable neurological conditions

Not sure? That’s okay. We’ll review your history and answer every question during your evaluation.
