The most advanced form of treatment for depression
Avant Interventional Psychiatry has partnered with Magstim, an innovator of research in TMS therapy, to help people who are not responding to their medications fight depression. With the use of innovative technology, we make this possible through a non-systemic and non-invasive therapy with few known side-effects.
TMS is FDA-approved and has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for major depressive disorder since its approval for depression treatment in 2008. Researchers continue to study the benefits of transcranial magnetic stimulation, and are finding TMS to be an effective treatment for multiple psychiatric and neurological conditions. Avant Interventional Psychiatry focuses on using TMS for the treatment of stubborn depression when medications have not provided satisfactory sympton relief.
Unlike antidepressant medications, TMS does not cause undesired systemic side effects, such as GI upset, constipation, headaches, insomnia, sleeping problems, foggy thoughts, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, or worsening symptoms of depression.
TMS Therapy:
Does not require anesthesia, medications, or the insertion of any needles
Does not cause any downtime and patients immediately return to normal activity
Does not cause a 'shock' or induce any type of seizure
Does not cause memory loss or undesired systemic side effects
TMS is a series of repetitive, brief, and highly focused magnetic pulses used to stimulate targeted neurons in the brain. For depression, the area of the brain to be treated is called the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which is just above the left eyebrow.
The magnetic pulses induce an electrical current in the brain, stimulating the nerve cells, and over a period of time, these impulses work to restore the balance of neurochemicals in the brain, treating depression at its core. Nearly 70% of patients treated with TMS can expect to receive significant relief from their depressive symptoms, and many experience complete remission for up to a year.
TMS is covered by nearly all major insurance plans and generally requires a prior authorization. At Avant, we will work with your insurance provider to obtain any necessary pre-authorization before you begin treatment.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved treatment that has been proven safe and effective for major depressive disorder since its approval in 2008. Ongoing research continues to explore the benefits of TMS, revealing its potential as an effective therapy for various treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders and neurological conditions. At Avant Interventional Psychiatry, we specialize in using TMS for treatment-resistant depression, particularly when medication management has not provided satisfactory symptom relief.
Unlike antidepressant medications, TMS does not cause undesired systemic side effects, such as GI upset, constipation, headaches, insomnia, sleeping problems, foggy thoughts, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, or worsening symptoms of depression.

Tired of feeling down, having no energy or motivation, suffering from chronic irritability and fatigue, experiencing lack of interest in people and activities, and having difficulties with sleep?
TMS CAN HELP
TMS is a revolutionary treatment that treats depression directly by activating brain cells responsible for depression sparing the rest of the brain and body from side effects.
TMS HELPS DEPRESSION
Unlike other treatment modalities for depression, such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and Ketamine, TMS is safe and non-invasive. TMS is done in a doctor's office in a relaxing environment.
TMS Works
TMS is a non-systemic (does not circulate in the bloodstream throughout the body and does not cause systemic side effects) and non-invasive (does not involve surgery or the insertion of any needles) form of neuromodulation. TMS stimulates nerve cells in a targeted area of the brain (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) that is linked to depression by delivering highly focused MRI-strength magnetic pulses.
Patients being treated by TMS therapy do not require anesthesia or sedation and remain awake and alert in a comfortable reclining chair that looks much like dental chair. A single treatment last approximately 20 minutes. TMS is an outpatient therapy that is prescribed by a psychiatrist and performed in a psychiatrist’s office. The treatment is typically administered daily, 5-days each week, for 20-36 treatment sessions.
