One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that TMS and ECT are the same treatment.
They're not.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation while patients remain awake and alert during treatment.
ECT is a different procedure that is performed under anesthesia and follows a different treatment process.
Both are established treatment options, but they are not the same thing.
