ASSESS
A doctor will perform your assessment to determine whether you might benefit from TMS and if it is safe for you. TMS is Health Canada approved for treatment of major depressive disorder and is used as a treatment for several other conditions.
TREAT
If your condition is assessed as one which would potentially benefit from TMS treatment, the procedure, and side effects will be discussed and if you wish to proceed, you will be set up for a course of treatment that commonly involves treatment sessions five days per week for approximately four to six weeks.
MONITOR
During your treatment, you receive periodic check-ins by clinicians to ensure you are responding well to the treatment. Our clinicians will also assist your physician in monitoring your response to treatment and in some cases may make recommendations for further treatment.
