Treatment-resistant depression options
TMS for Depression in Provo
If medication or talk therapy has not helped enough, RSLNT Wellness can evaluate whether FDA-cleared TMS therapy belongs in your depression care plan. This page answers the practical questions people search before they book: who TMS is for, how it works, what safety screening looks like, and how insurance review starts.
When TMS enters the conversation
TMS is usually considered when depression symptoms continue after reasonable trials of medication, therapy, or both. It is not a shortcut around evaluation. RSLNT reviews diagnosis, symptom history, medication response, seizure risk, implanted devices, and treatment goals before recommending a protocol.
- FDA-cleared treatment pathway for major depressive disorder.
- Non-invasive sessions with no anesthesia.
- Progress tracked with symptom measures and provider review.
What happens before treatment starts
The first step is a consultation and benefit check. The clinic confirms whether TMS is clinically appropriate, reviews current medications and safety factors, and explains the likely schedule before you commit to care.
Questions people are already asking
Is TMS better than antidepressants?
It depends on the person. TMS may be considered when antidepressants have not helped enough or side effects are hard to tolerate. A provider should compare medication, therapy, TMS, and other options against your history.
How long does TMS usually last?
A standard TMS course commonly involves repeated visits across several weeks. The exact plan depends on clinical fit, protocol, insurance requirements, and provider monitoring.
Does depression come back after TMS?
Some people need maintenance planning or future booster sessions. RSLNT tracks symptoms and follow-up needs instead of promising that one course permanently solves depression for every patient.
