Is TMS right for me? from Suzanne Jessee on Vimeo.

A Special Partnership With Pioneering Results For Kiloby Center Clients



The Kiloby Center now offers Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) through a special partnership with Achieve TMS who use a multidisciplinary approach to treat depression, anxiety, and related conditions.

Approved by the FDA in 2008, TMS has proven to be the safest, most effective treatment for many patients. dTMS delivers magnetic pulses across neural pathways to activate mood centers in the brain and naturally combat depression and anxiety, also creating lasting change.

During the initial consultation, we’ll help you determine whether or not dTMS is right for you.

Offers New Hope

Even if antidepressants haven’t helped you, TMS can provide relief. In fact, one of its primary purposes is to help those people who are typically treatment resistant with regard to antidepressants. TMS has restored the chemical imbalance for a diverse group of people—younger and older, those who are treatment resistant and those who have never been treated, whether they’ve struggled with depression for 6 months or 6 years. Many have found hope and relief with TMS.

Non-Invasive Treatment

People are surprised during their first visit to Achieve TMS. They expect the typical medical procedure in a cold, sterile environment. We’ve created a place more like home. You’re seated in a comfortable chair, and you can listen to music or watch TV during TMS treatment. Then when you’re done, you can simply drive yourself home.

No Drug Side Effects

Avoid side effects of antidepressants. Sometimes they play an important role in helping to restore mental health. However, many people find relief without medication, especially thanks to TMS. If you’re already on medication, continue to take it as prescribed throughout treatment. After that you may be able to gradually go off meds, always under the supervision of a qualified doctor. If you don’t have a psychiatrist, one of our doctors can help.

An imbalance in proper brain chemistry is a common cause of depression. With TMS, magnetic pulses stimulate neurons in the mood center of the brain which, in turn, help alleviate depression. Many people suffer from this type of depression, caused by a chemical imbalance, and don’t even realize it. The signs of depression include sadness and melancholy that doesn’t seem to go away, a lack of energy, irritability, change in sleeping and/or eating habits, and a lack of interest in activities that used to be enjoyable.
