What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) is an advanced therapy which uses a targeted, pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The pulses, produced through a NeuroStar FDA approved device, are delivered directly to the specific area of the brain involved in depression.

Fit Mind Therapeutics: Advanced Behavioral Health is proud to offer NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) at our office in Jacksonville, Florida. Victoria and her staff are excited to offer this profoundly effective treatment to the community and their patients.

Does it work?

For people who have not found relief with antidepressants, NeuroStar is a safe and proven depression treatment without the systemic
side effects of medication. Over 4.8 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 134,000 patients.

Does it hurt?

Many patients experience side effects from their medication, increasing the chance that they will stop taking them. The most common
side effect with NeuroStar is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site. For most patients this subsides within the first
week of treatment.

Is it covered?

Most major insurances cover NeuroStar TMS, including Medicare plans nationwide.

About NeuroStar TMS

NeuroStar uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to target key areas of the brain that are underactive in people with depression.

It is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).

What is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS)?

NeuroStar uses focused magnetic pulses (similar in strength to an MRI), to revitalize underactive areas of the brain involved in regulating
mood. When these regions are underactive, depression can result. “Waking up” these regions can have a lasting effect on depression,
making long-term remission from depression a reality for many people.
Treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is easy:

• Therapy sessions are conducted in your NeuroStar doctor’s office
• You can return to normal activities right away
• You are awake during treatment
• There are no negative effects on memory or sleep
• It’s covered by most health insurance plans, including Medicare and Tricare
