Find TMS therapy in Georgia

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment for depression, available across Georgia since shortly after its 2008 clearance. It uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain that regulates mood and that is measurably underactive in many people with treatment-resistant depression. A standard course runs five days a week for six weeks, each session lasting between three and thirty-seven minutes depending on the protocol. There is no anesthesia, no sedation and no recovery time — most patients go straight back to work or class afterwards.

This site exists because finding a TMS provider in Georgia is harder than it should be. Clinics cluster heavily inside I-285 and across the northern suburbs — Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Alpharetta, Marietta, Roswell and the Gwinnett corridor — with solid coverage in Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Warner Robins and Athens. Coverage thins quickly outside the metros: much of south and middle Georgia, the southwest around Albany and Bainbridge, and the mountain counties in the north have few or no clinics, and patients often drive an hour or more each way. Because treatment means daily visits for six weeks, that drive time matters more than it would for any other treatment. Insurance rules also differ between Anthem, the national carriers and Georgia Medicaid, and clinic websites rarely publish the details that actually matter: which coil they use, whether they offer accelerated protocols, and how long the wait is.
