At Washington Interventional Psychiatry (WIP), we are thrilled to share our enthusiasm for one of the most transformative innovations in mental health treatment: Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Accelerated TMS). Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible results using this cutting-edge therapy to help patients with long-lasting depression find relief—often in just a week.
What is Accelerated TMS?
Accelerated TMS is a non-invasive, medication-free treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike traditional TMS, which can take weeks or months to achieve results, Accelerated TMS delivers multiple sessions per day, condensing treatment into just five to seven days.
Why We’re Excited About Accelerated TMS
1. It’s Not a Medication!
One of the most significant advantages of Accelerated TMS is that it’s not a medication. That means:
- No Systemic Side Effects: Unlike antidepressants, which can cause side effects like weight gain, fatigue, or sexual dysfunction, Accelerated TMS works without affecting other parts of the body.
- A Natural Approach: The therapy simply uses magnetic pulses to restore the brain’s natural rhythm, making it an appealing option for those who prefer non-pharmaceutical treatments.
2. Relief in Just a Week– previously unheard of in the treatment of depression.
For patients suffering from depression, waiting weeks or months for treatment to work can feel unbearable. Accelerated TMS changes that:
- Fast-Acting: This therapy has the potential to dramatically improve symptoms of depression in as little as one week—something that was previously unheard of in mental health care.
- Hope for the Hopeless: Many of our patients who have tried multiple treatments without success have experienced life-changing results with Accelerated TMS.
3. Independent of Big Pharma
Accelerated TMS is not a product of big pharmaceutical companies, and as a result, it comes with:
- Limited Marketing: Unlike medications that benefit from massive advertising budgets, Accelerated TMS relies on word-of-mouth from other psychiatrists, and clinical evidence to gain recognition.
- A Patient-Centered Approach: Without the influence of pharmaceutical companies, this therapy remains focused on what truly matters—helping patients achieve better mental health.
4. Exceptional Results Over the Past Year
At WIP, we’ve been offering Accelerated TMS for the past year, and the outcomes have exceeded our expectations:
- Outstanding Efficacy: Many of our patients have experienced significant improvements in their symptoms, with some achieving remission after years of struggling with depression.
- Minimal Risks: Aside from the financial cost, there are virtually no risks associated with Accelerated TMS. It’s safe, non-invasive, and well-tolerated by nearly everyone.
The One Drawback: Insurance Coverage
While Accelerated TMS offers incredible benefits, it’s important to note that it is not yet covered by insurance. This financial barrier can make access challenging for some patients, but we believe the results are worth it. At WIP, we’re committed to working with patients to explore payment options like carecredit and make this revolutionary treatment as accessible as possible.
