Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

At Washington Interventional Psychiatry (W.I.P.), we’re excited to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a groundbreaking therapy that’s been changing lives since its FDA clearance in 2008.

Let’s explore how this non-invasive treatment could be your path to overcoming Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

What is TMS?

Think of TMS as a gentle nudge for your brain. It uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of your brain associated with mood regulation. The best part? It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require any anesthesia or medications.

Why Choose TMS?

Backed by Experts: The American Psychiatric Association has been giving TMS a thumbs up since 2010. That's a decade of professional endorsement!
Gentle on Your Body: Unlike some antidepressants, TMS doesn't cause side effects like weight gain or sexual dysfunction. And don't worry—it's not like ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), a more intensive treatment that can affect memory. With TMS, your memory stays intact.
Fits Your Life: With TMS, you can hop right back into your day after each session. No downtime is needed!
