Depression Treatment
Depression is a very common mental disorder that affects more than 300 million people globally. Unfortunately, traditional treatment resistance via medication is circa 20%.

Medications generally result in, at best, a 16% remission rate in depression symptoms, whereas TMS provides up to 80% remission rates. There are three types of TMS treatments for depression.
