How does TMS therapy work?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy employs a repeated magnetic pulse to activate or inhibit brain centres linked with a variety of medical and mental problems. It is a safe and effective alternative to conventional treatments:
There is no requirement for anaesthesia, no need for hospitalisation, no recuperation period, and there are fewer adverse effects than medication. In Addition, TMS treatment can be used in conjunction with your current medications.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The novel therapy employs pulsating magnetic fields to stimulate or inhibit brain centers linked to a variety of mental problems.
Rather than overwhelming the brain with chemicals, TMS addresses the real brain circuits implicated in your disease.
The therapy stimulates the brain and induces 'neuroplasticity,' or the brain's capacity to repair and build associations between nerve cells. In the case of depression, for instance, the left side of the prefrontal cortex is aroused, repairing connections that allow it to function normally and without the symptoms of depression.

TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION FAQS
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a therapy for depression, OCD, addictions, and other mental health issues. The TMS machine sends high-frequency magnetic pulses to the region of the brain believed to be responsible for the disease. The therapy stimulates the brain and induces 'neuroplasticity,' or the brain's capacity to repair and create connections within nerve cells. In the event of depression, for example, the left side of the prefrontal cortex is stimulated, repairing connections that allow it to function normally and without the symptoms of depression.
TMS has been accepted for financing by the federal government. Contact us for more information.
As research advances, it becomes apparent that the advantages of TMS therapy are continuing with frequent maintenance sessions (one per month). Our days are full of ups as well as downs, but once we know that TMS therapy is effective for you, we may provide "top-up" sessions anytime you feel you need a pick-me-up.
There is no evidence that TMS may induce memory loss. TMS is often likened to ECT (electroconvulsive treatment), which can induce memory loss; however, TMS is non-invasive and only targets a tiny region of the brain, rather than causing seizures as ECT does.
Yes, TMS may help in the treatment of Generalised Anxiety Disorder. At TMS HUBB, we understand that depression and anxiety often coexist, therefore we provide all patients with the option of receiving treatment for both at the same time.
When it comes to mental wellness, it is difficult to measure "success." At TMS HUBB, the remission rate for individuals suffering from depression is 60%. This implies that after TMS therapy, 60% of patients are no longer clinically depressed. Our study indicates that some patients experience a substantial improvement in their mood even if they do not formally achieve remission, allowing them to live a happier and more meaningful life with fewer symptoms than previously.
To access bulk-billed TMS treatment at TMS HUBB, you’ll need a referral from a GP or private psychiatrist and an assessment by one of our TMS psychiatrists. While the 35 sessions of TMS are fully covered by Medicare, there is a one-time out-of-pocket cost of $220 for the initial psychiatrist consultation. This fee is required to proceed with the treatment.
Yes, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy can be paired with psychotherapy to enhance treatment outcomes. Many patients benefit from this combined approach, and our experienced team collaborates with your mental health providers to support your comprehensive care.
If TMS therapy doesn’t provide the expected results, we’ll explore alternative treatment options. While TMS has a high success rate for treatment-resistant depression, every patient is unique, and we’re committed to finding the best solution for your mental health.
TMS therapy is an effective, non-invasive alternative to antidepressants. Unlike medication, TMS directly stimulates the brain’s mood-regulating regions without systemic side effects like weight gain or fatigue. It's especially useful for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Currently, TMS therapy is FDA-approved for adults. However, ongoing research is investigating its efficacy in younger patients. If you’re considering mental health treatment for an adolescent, we can discuss all available options.
Some patients benefit from periodic maintenance TMS sessions to sustain long-term results. We'll work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that ensures your ongoing mental wellness after the initial treatment course.
