Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

“I’ve tried everything.”

You’ve done therapy. You’ve tried different medications. Maybe you’ve made some progress, but you still don’t feel like yourself.

TMS may be just what you need, and bonmente is pleased to be offering TMS in Long Beach, California, for treatment-resistant depression and other mental health conditions.

Many people who benefit from TMS feel like their mental health treatment plan has hit a dead end or plateaued. Medications have great benefit, but sometimes they aren’t enough or they come with side effects that present their own problems.

TMS activates the brain in a new way, a way that medications sometimes can’t.

Maybe it’s time for TMS.

TMS is a non-invasive neuromodulation treatment that uses rapidly pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate specific regions of the brain involved in mood regulation. Stimulating these areas causes nerve cells to activate, essentially rebooting areas of the brain that may not be functioning optimally.

The magnetic impulses from TMS feel like tapping on your head, but they aren’t painful. You don’t have to be sedated during TMS treatment, and TMS doesn’t affect cognition or make you sleepy or feel out of sorts. Patients listen to music, read, or chat with staff during treatment and are able to drive home and return to their normal daily routine immediately after.
