NeuroStar TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is an FDA-cleared treatment for the source of your depression – your brain. It uses focused magnetic pulses to reignite inactive synapses in your brain, leading to improved function. Mood regulation is intricately linked to certain areas in your brain, and ”waking” up these connections can have lasting positive effects and make long-term remission from depression a reality.
