Comprehensive Mental Health Support for Depression
Depression is among the most pervasive mental health issues today. For decades, medications have been the first-line approach to treating depression symptoms. Yet, research shows that antidepressants and psychotherapy—individually or together—don’t work for everyone.
Many people who experience depression have tried multiple medications, or combinations of treatment modalities, with little relief or with severe side effects.
TMS for Depression
TMS can be effective for treatment-resistant depression, relieving depressive symptoms where traditional therapies have failed. Through a course of TMS treatment, healthy brain activity can be restored, leading to relief of symptoms and increased quality of life. Our team of experts is committed to providing each client with a tailored course of treatment to support their specific needs.
Unlike traditional pharmacological antidepressant therapy, TMS allows for the treatment of depression, without the associated unpleasant side effects, such as decreased libido, weight gain, and emotional blunting (inability to experience the full range of human emotions such as joy and happiness).

TMS is FDA Approved
The current use of electromagnetic induction for transcranial stimulation dates back to 1985. Dr. Tony Barker and his colleagues invented the initial type of TMS in Sheffield, UK. Moreover, Barker scientifically proved the influence of magnetic stimulation on the motor cortex of the human brain in 1985.
In 2002, the Canadian Association of Health approved the medical results and benefits of TMS. Many devices are available for repetitive electromagnetic stimulation. Olympia Center for TMS & Psychiatry, uses the MagVita TMS Treatment System with Theta Burst Stimulation.
