Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is an FDA-approved noninvasive treatment for adults with depression. TMS uses a low intensity magnetic pulse to create an electrical current in the brain. Multiple studies have indicated that TMS is an effective treatment for major depressive disorder and treatment-resistant depression with low risks and minimal side effects.
