When antidepressants haven’t worked, NeuroStar TMS offers a proven, drug-free path to remission — covered by TRICARE, the VA, and most major insurance plans. No referral required.
In patients with Major Depressive Disorder, the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is measurably underactive. NeuroStar TMS delivers focused magnetic pulses directly to this region, restoring normal neural activity through repeated stimulation — without affecting the rest of the body.

After two years on medications that made me numb, I had no expectations. By week three I was sleeping through the night for the first time since Afghanistan.
I was breastfeeding and refused antidepressants. My OB referred me here. The improvement was gradual — then one morning I realized I was actually present with my baby again.
At 71, I'd tried every medication there was for thirty years. Medicare covered TMS completely. I wish I had found this decades ago.
Each additional antidepressant trial yields a lower probability of response. TMS breaks this cycle — a 58% response rate in the treatment-resistant population, with no systemic side effects.
