Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - Magnet Therapy for Depression
Do you feel you've tried everything to manage negative mental health symptoms with no success? Do you want to try a mental health treatment other than medication? TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, may be for you.
TMS is a revolutionary and noninvasive therapy option that can help with various mental health issues--especially for those who've tried alternative treatments with little to no success. We are here to provide the mental health support you need to help you feel your best.
When you suffer from depression or a neurological disorder, you are not alone. It's important to know that you are not alone.
TMS therapy is a psychiatry treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate regions of the brain. This drug-free treatment has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its effectiveness in treating various psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, addiction, and insomnia. At Bukhari Psychiatric Services in Frisco, TX, we specialize in providing TMS therapy to patients throughout the region.
TMS therapy sends magnetic pulses through an electromagnet placed over specific places of the head. These pulses increase neuron activity in the targeted area, resulting in improved mood and increased energy. TMS therapy is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment option that requires no anesthesia or sedation and does not involve any medication. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and can be done on an outpatient basis.
If you're considering TMS therapy, it's essential to consult with a qualified psychiatrist first. An experienced professional can help assess whether TMS is the right course for you. Our team of professionals is here to provide you with personalized care and support every step of the way. We will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Generally, individual sessions can take anywhere from 30 – 40 minutes. We usually recommend for patients to receive five treatments a week for about 4 – 6 weeks. However, it's important to note that every patient is different, and some may need different lengths of sessions and/or courses.
Side effects are possible but are generally minor and lessen with each treatment. This can include a headache, discomfort around the treatment area, tingling, spasms, or twitching of facial muscles, as well as lightheadedness. Only a small percentage of patients experience any side effects at all.
Yes, TMS is covered by most insurances but it can vary by state. Our current in-network providers are: Medicare, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and United Healthcare. It's always best to contact your carrier to determine eligibility.
TMS is a noninvasive therapy that uses powerful electromagnetic fields to stimulate activity in the brain. It uses a coil that hovers in front of the head to deliver magnetic pulses to specific brain regions. This stimulation increases electrical activity in these areas, which helps regulate mood and other psychiatric symptoms.
Our experienced team of psychiatrists will be happy to answer any questions you may have about TMS therapy and how it can help you manage your psychiatric symptoms. We invite you to contact us today for a consultation.

Have you been wondering if TMS therapy can help you with your unique demands? Take a look at the following common mental health problems and examine how TMS treatment may assist in your well-being.
—
Approximately one in five people are afflicted with OCD. Genetics have been implicated in its causation, although a communication break down between brain regions responsible for decision making and emotion control (particularly the frontal lobe), as well as other factors, has also been discovered. TMS may help to cure the distressing symptoms of OCD.
—
TMS therapy was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in 2008. It is also used to treat adolescents and young adults with depression instead of long-term use of antidepressants. TMS is a powerful, non-invasive therapy that can aid people in overcoming severe depression.
—
TMS may assist you in alleviating the effects of your manic episodes if you have bipolar disorder. If you have bipolar disease, TMS treatment might aid in the management of your highs and lows. This therapy employs magnetic pulses to keep your emotions stable and help maintain emotional balance in your life.
—
Researchers have discovered that eating disorders such as anorexia affect the brain. The striatal, frontal, and limbic brain networks are particularly susceptible, with the prefrontal cortex being the most notable. TMS can restore balance to the prefrontal cortex and reset disrupted neural pathways by stimulating it.
—
Many individuals claim to be nervous or anxious in today's society but that does not imply they have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. GAD is a debilitating, chronic anxiety disorder that interferes with everyday functioning and can strike at any age. TMS therapy can be used as a long-term treatment alternative to medication for GAD.
—
Insomnia can be a terrible burden to live with. It involves persistent problems falling asleep and staying asleep, which are frequently linked to poor sleeping habits or chronic illness. Difficulty going off shift at night or waking up during the day might indicate insomnia; you may feel weary and irritable as a result of these disruptions to your regular routine.
—
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops as a result of frightening events. Flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness, and anxiety or sadness are symptoms. TMS promotes neural connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the region responsible for emotional control, especially the amygdala, which helps decrease PTSD severity.
—
Drugs and alcohol can be dangerous to your mental and physical health. They also wreak havoc on families and relationships. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction, specialized therapy such as TMS may help with long-term, drug-free relief from cravings. We can assist you in this process.
—
There is no doubt that smoking addiction has a negative impact on our general health and brain function. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been investigated as a smoking cessation therapy and has shown positive results, with deep TMS treatment for smoking cessation being licensed by the FDA in 2020. Stop smoking with help from TMS.
