A New Hope for Treatment Resistant Depression
Depression can take away energy, focus, and motivation, and for some people standard treatments simply are not enough. If you have tried antidepressant medications without lasting relief, TMS therapy for depression may offer a new path forward.
At Compassionate Psychiatric Services, we provide FDA cleared TMS treatment at our centers in Frisco and Southlake. Our specialists combine advanced technology with compassionate care to help you find long term improvement.
What Is TMS Depression Treatment?
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain linked to mood regulation. By restoring healthier brain activity, TMS can reduce symptoms of major depressive disorder and improve daily functioning.
Unlike ECT, TMS does not require anesthesia, does not affect memory, and allows you to return to work or school immediately after each session.
How Effective Is TMS for Depression?
TMS therapy has been studied in some of the largest clinical trials for depression. Nearly half of patients responded to treatment, and about one third achieved full remission. For many, TMS provided meaningful relief after years of trying different medications without success.
At Compassionate Psychiatric Services, we use proven protocols and tailor each treatment plan to the needs of the individual, giving you the best chance of lasting recovery.
How Long Is TMS Treatment?
A typical course of TMS therapy involves 15-30 minute sessions, five days a week, over the course of six to eight weeks. Some patients begin noticing changes within the first couple of weeks, while for others improvement builds gradually over time.
Because TMS is outpatient and requires no anesthesia or downtime, you can drive yourself to and from your appointments and continue with your daily routine.
Insurance Coverage for TMS Therapy
TMS therapy for depression is FDA cleared and covered by most major insurance providers, including Medicare and many private plans. Our staff will walk you through the approval process, work directly with your insurance company, and answer any questions so you can begin treatment without unnecessary stress.
Compassionate Care Every Step of the Way
At our practice, treatment is more than just technology. We coordinate with you on scheduling, guide you through insurance, and provide ongoing support throughout your treatment plan. Our psychiatrists also integrate TMS with other evidence based approaches, including therapy and SPRAVATO, to give you the best chance at long term improvement.

You may be a candidate for TMS therapy for depression if:
- You have not had adequate relief from two or more antidepressant medications
- Side effects from medications have been difficult to tolerate
