For patients who have tried multiple medications without success, Stacy Schilz offers TMS as a powerful alternative. Unlike oral medications that affect the entire body and often come with significant side effects, TMS delivers precisely targeted magnetic pulses to the specific brain regions responsible for mood regulation. This means patients can experience relief without the weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or cognitive fog commonly associated with antidepressants.
