Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is FDA-cleared for depression — non-invasive, no sedation, and no systemic side effects.
See If TMS Is Right for You →Antidepressants work for many people — but not everyone. Here's how TMS compares:
We review your history and confirm TMS is appropriate for you.
Our team checks your coverage — most major plans cover TMS for MDD.
~20 minutes per session, 5 days/week for 4-6 weeks. No downtime.
Remission rates of 50-60% — and effects often last a year or more.
Led by Dr. Matzkin — specializing in interventional psychiatry including TMS, Spravato, and treatment-resistant conditions.
We offer standard and deep TMS options — deeper brain stimulation for more comprehensive results.
TMS can also help with OCD, PTSD, anxiety, smoking cessation, and other conditions beyond depression.
We handle prior auth and insurance appeals. Most commercial plans, Medicare, and Medicaid cover TMS for MDD.
Morning and afternoon slots available to fit your work and life schedule.
Easy access from Decatur, Atlanta, Tucker, Stone Mountain, and surrounding communities.
"After 3 antidepressants in 5 years, TMS at Attuned Psychiatry changed everything. I feel like a real person again — motivated, present, and hopeful."
"I was skeptical about a treatment that uses magnets. But by week 3, I noticed I was waking up without dread. Six months later, I'm still doing well."
"The 20-minute sessions fit into my lunch break. No grogginess, no side effects. My insurance covered it after Dr. Matzkin's team handled the prior auth."
Yes — Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurers cover TMS for Major Depressive Disorder when antidepressants haven't worked. We handle all prior authorization for you.
Most patients feel a tapping or clicking sensation on the scalp. A small number experience mild headache after early sessions, which typically resolves. There's no sedation needed.
The standard protocol is 5 sessions per week for 4-6 weeks (20-36 total sessions). Each session is about 20 minutes. You can drive yourself to and from appointments.
TMS is FDA-cleared for Major Depression and OCD. It's also used off-label for PTSD, anxiety, smoking cessation, and treatment-resistant depression after prior med failures.
ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) requires anesthesia and causes memory side effects. TMS is non-invasive, requires no sedation, and has minimal side effects. They're very different treatments.
