What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for major depression used at BestMind Behavioral Health clinics across Oregon and Washington—including Portland, Northeast Portland, Salem, Bend, Clackamas, Eugene, and Vancouver. TMS delivers gentle magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain responsible for mood, helping improve symptoms for people who haven’t responded to antidepressant medications or therapy. The session lasts about 20 minutes, requires no sedation, and patients can immediately return to daily activities. Research shows TMS reduces depressive symptoms, improves quality of life, and has minimal side effects.
