Is TMS Treatment like ECT?

No, although ECT and TMS are both modalities for the treatment of depression, they are very different.  ECT requires the patient  to be sedated and uses electricity to induce a seizure.

TMS Treatment does not.     TMS Treatment uses magnetic pulses to activate areas of the brain responsible for regulating mood.  The patient sits in a spa chair and is alert and awake during the entire session.  Once the treatment session is complete, the patient can immediately return to their normal daily routine.
