In plain language
Discovery Texas Interventional Psychiatry has launched a new website to help Dallas-Fort Worth residents learn about TMS therapy for depression. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood. This outpatient therapy does not require sedation, allowing patients to stay awake and return to their normal activities immediately. The new resource helps patients verify insurance coverage and understand their options when traditional medications have not provided enough relief.
