Depression & TMS - Modern Depression Treatment

Neurostar® Advanced Therapy TMS For Teens

New hope for adolescents and their parents.

Depression affects millions of Americans and is the second leading cause of disability.

There are promising options available for teens and their families. Depression impacts millions across the country and stands as the second most common cause of disability. When a teenager begins showing symptoms of depression, worry can take over and make choices feel overwhelming. Avoid letting the weight of the situation or uncertainty about next steps lead to delays. Talk with them, hear them out, support them in moving toward help, and make sure they are part of the treatment-seeking process.

Safe and Effective for Adolescent Depression

Ongoing studies show that TMS is effective in reducing depressive symptoms and improving the overall well-being of teenagers who have not responded to other treatments.

Nearly 10,000 adolescents have been treated with over 300,000 NeuroStar sessions. (Based on 169,000 global patients treated. Data on File, 2024)

For those with treatment-resistant depression, TMS can offer hope for young people living with depression, allowing them to be successful at school, home and in the community.

Benefits of TMS Therapy for Teenagers

Non-Invasive

TMS is a non invasive approach that does not require surgery and does not rely on medications that affect the entire body. This is often preferred by teens and their families who want to avoid the risks or side effects linked to other forms of treatment.

Minimized Medication Use

TMS provides a safe option for adolescents dealing with persistent or severe depression without needing multiple psychotropic medications. Many patients and parents choose it because it avoids the side effects and dependency concerns that can come with drug based treatments.

Outpatient Treatment

TMS sessions take place in our calm office setting. After each session, you can immediately return to normal routines, including school, activities and work throughout the full course of treatment.

A New Hope for Adolescent Depression

Many people living with depression have taken antidepressants without seeing meaningful improvement. Others are searching for an option that feels like a better fit for themselves or someone they care about. In any situation, medication is not the only path forward.

For adolescents facing depression that has not responded to standard treatments, TMS can provide a promising alternative. It can help young people regain stability and function well at school, at home and in their daily environments.
