This 90 minute webinar provides an overview of what Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is and who can benefit. We explore the evidence for TMS, Australian clinical experience, and the practicalities for prescribing.

TMS is a painless and effective treatment for depression and has been used to treat thousands of patients worldwide. It has also been used to treat conditions such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). TMS is more effective than antidepressants in relieving depression for patients who have tried 2 antidepressants, with a 58% response rate.

TMS is an effective treatment for depression. For the majority of clients, TMS therapy can provide relief within 6 weeks. Most of the studies have been conducted in patients who have trialed at least one, and up to 14 antidepressants with remaining symptoms. TMS success is equivalent across all patient groups. It is effective and safe regardless of age, duration of illness, and the number of medications tried.
