Treatment-resistant depression

When depression treatment hasn't worked, TMS might be the next step.

You've tried medication, therapy, or both — and the relief never quite came. TMS is FDA-cleared for exactly this, and you don't have to start from scratch.

Signs of Treatment-Resistant Depression

You took the medication as prescribed, more than once, and still feel stuck.

You have done the work in therapy and can point to insight, but not relief.

You have been told to give it more time — more than once.

You are starting to wonder if this is just how you are now.

Trying something and having it not work has started to feel like the norm.

You have switched medications, and the side effects outlast any benefit.

What "treatment-resistant" actually means

Depression that hasn't responded well enough to standard treatments like medication or therapy, even after genuinely trying them. It's a recognized clinical situation — not a sign that something is wrong with you, and not a dead end.

TMS — built for this

TMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Not a stretch positioning — the literal clinical indication. TMS uses magnetic stimulation to target the areas of your brain involved in mood regulation, when medication and therapy alone haven't been enough.

“A long-time depression sufferer described a dramatic shift from persistent suicidal ideation to genuine hope and positive thinking after completing a course of TMS treatment, crediting the staff’s warmth as much as the treatment itself.”

“I called to get information on the TMS that they offer. Very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions. She didn’t push for me to make an appointment and called a week after to check up on me.”

“I recommend trying the neurofeedback, it helped relieve my anxiety. The staff listened to me without judgment and we created a plan that would best support me.”

What does "treatment-resistant depression" mean?

It means depression that hasn't responded well enough to standard treatments like medication or therapy, even after genuinely trying them. It's a recognized clinical situation, not a sign that something is wrong with you.

I've tried more than one antidepressant without relief — what else is there?

TMS was developed specifically for this situation. It's FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression and doesn't involve medication, anesthesia, or downtime.

Do I need to be enrolled in a program to try TMS?

No — TMS is available as a standalone service. You don't need to be enrolled in High Support or Moderate Support to access it.

How is TMS different from what I have already tried?

TMS uses magnetic stimulation to target the areas of your brain involved in mood regulation, rather than working through the bloodstream like medication does. Our team can walk you through how it compares to what you have already tried.

What if TMS does not work for me either?

Our team will talk through your full history and what you've tried so far, and help you understand realistic expectations before you start — and what the next options would be if TMS isn't the right fit.
