Individuals experiencing depression often show reduced electrical activity in mood-regulating regions of the brain. NeuroStar® TMS delivers highly targeted magnetic pulses to those regions, including the prefrontal cortex, to stimulate the neurons responsible for mood regulation.
Focused magnetic pulses are delivered directly to the prefrontal cortex, the mood-regulation center of the brain.
The pulses stimulate underactive neurons, triggering the natural release of mood-supporting neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Stimulated neurons continue supporting healthy brain activity well beyond the treatment session, offering durable symptom relief.
If medication hasn't given you relief, that doesn't mean nothing will. NeuroStar® TMS is a proven, non-invasive path forward, and the results speak for themselves.
