Changing the way depression is treated
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide
Unfortunately our current medications and therapy fall short as more than 1/3rd of people do not respond to these traditional treatments.
TMS is a powerful treatment that is proven more effective in helping those non-responders take their lives back.
When to turn to TMS?
TMS is approved for treatment resistant depression - meaning, you must fail one or more antidepressants before your insurance will cover TMS treatment.
Unfortunately, antidepressant medication is not nearly as effective as some may think. According to the largest clinical trial of major depressive disorder ever conducted, the chances of remitting (no longer having depression) from a first antidepressant medication is just 28%. Rates drop from there with each subsequent medication trial as seen in the graph below.
Because of TMS’s superior results and lack of side effects typically seen with medication, TMS is often indicated as soon as after the first medication failure. Each insurance company differs in their requirement for the number of failed medication trials needed prior to approving a course of TMS. Get in touch with us and we will find out your insurer’s specific
requirements for you.
The difference is big
According to the latest data, TMS has substantially better results than antidepressants.

Evolve Accelerated TMS helped me greatly. Dr. Knightly created a wonderful experience for me. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
