How TMS therapy works

A powerful magnet is placed on a specific spot on the head of the patient, who is seated in a chair. No anesthesia or sedation is required.
Electric pulses from the magnet stimulate sections of the brain that control mood. The pulses do not affect the entire brain, only isolated areas.
Each treatment session, overseen by a Calabasas Behavioral Health specialist, lasts around 45 minutes. You can resume daily activities after the session, including driving.
