"Unlike other more intense therapies, TMS does not require anesthesia or hospital stays: treatment sessions are 20 minutes long and patients are able to drive themselves home after each session. Patients are able to resume all normal activities after treatment and with treatment duration being so short, it is easy to fit into an average person"s full schedule.
When thinking about how to deal with depression, side effects of treatment can be a cause for concern. The side effects of antidepressant drugs can be so disruptive that they dissuade a patient from adhering to a depression medication plan altogether. With TMS treatment, the most commonly reported side effects are scalp discomfort and/or headache."
