Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non medication treatment for depression that has not responded to traditional options.

It targets brain regions involved in mood regulation using magnetic pulses.

Accelerated TMS offers the same treatment in a condensed timeline with multiple sessions per day. Both approaches are safe, proven, and backed by clinical research.

If you have tried medication without relief, TMS may be an option worth exploring.

Shorter days and limited sunlight can trigger mood changes often referred to as the winter blues.

Evidence-based approaches such as light therapy, structured routines, behavioral activation, and cognitive-behavioral strategies can help regulate sleep, improve mood, and restore energy. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), when these symptoms begin to interfere with daily functioning, they may indicate Seasonal Affective Disorder, a common and treatable condition.
