* FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE *
California TMS Clinics, an affiliate clinic of Los Angeles Therapy Institute Offers Santa Monica
Residents Access to Breakthrough Depression Treatment.
Local facility provides NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy, a safe and effective non-drug treatment
option for depression sufferers
Santa Monica, CA November 10, 2022 - California TMS Clinics
https://www.californiatmsclinics.com announced its new offering of NeuroStar Advanced
Therapy for Mental Health, making it one of the first and only psychology practices in Santa
Monica to provide NeuroStar TMS treatment in combination with psychotherapy services. To
celebrate this new service, California TMS Clinics will host an open house on 11/<23>/22 from
10am to 12pm at its office in Santa Monica. The event is free and open to anyone who would
like to learn more about NeuroStar and how it works.
Approximately 6.2 million people in the U.S. being treated for depression do not benefit from
antidepressant medication. (1,2)
California TMS Clinics’ new service, NeuroStar Advanced
Therapy, uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to activate areas of the brain that are
underactive in depression. The addition of this transformational treatment will provide people
with access to a proven, non-drug method of treating Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients
when antidepressant medications aren’t successful.
“We noticed a trend of treatment resistant depression in our patients in which they had tried all
sorts of medications but did not get the desired effect. As a result, they would resort to using
unhealthy and destructive copings to manage symptoms. Thus, we decided to offer an alternative
method for anxiety and depression treatment.” – Dr. Soheila Hosseini
Recent published data from NeuroStar’s Outcomes Registry, which is the largest depression
registry in the world, reported an 83% response rate for patients. (3)
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is widely covered by major insurance plans and is available by
prescription only. The treatment is typically administered daily for four to six weeks. Unlike
electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is non-invasive and allows
patients to resume daily activities immediately following treatment sessions. It is also free from
systemic side effects often associated with antidepressant medications. (4)
The most common side effect is temporary mild to moderate pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. NeuroStar is
indicated for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder in adult patients who have failed to
receive satisfactory improvement from prior antidepressant medication in the current episode.
