# Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Breakthrough in Depression
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), especially in individuals who have not responded well to traditional medications and therapy. At Lotus Psychiatry and Wellness, we specialize in providing TMS as a safe and effective option for patients struggling with treatment-resistant depression.

## How Does TMS Work?
TMS therapy involves the use of a specialized device that delivers repetitive magnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain associated with mood regulation—most often the prefrontal cortex. These magnetic fields are similar to those used in MRI machines and are completely safe. Over time, the stimulation helps restore normal brain activity and reduce symptoms of depression.

Unlike medications, TMS does not affect your entire body, which means it typically comes with fewer side effects and does not require sedation or anesthesia.

## Who is a Candidate for TMS?
