NeuroStar TMS Therapy for MDD in Midtown East NYC

NeuroStar TMS Therapy for Depression in Midtown East NYC (Murray Hill): NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is an innovative, FDA-cleared therapy that can help people who struggle with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) even after taking antidepressant medication. It helps activate the natural function of the brain’s neurotransmitters using a non-invasive magnetic field, and is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is Safe

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy provides results!

We find that TMS has a success rate at between 70% or 80%, meaning that the vast majority of individuals find significant relief after treatment. About 50% of people experience complete remission, meaning that the symptoms of depression are absent after just one course of treatment.

In many cases a 4-6 week treatment regimen will provide remission that lasts for about six months or longer. Occasional TMS maintenance sessions are sometimes needed to prolong remission. Some patients may be placed on a post-TMS schedule of one session per month for a specified period of time.
