Try TMS – A Proven Alternative Treatment for Depression
The 10-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-10) is a diagnostic tool introduced in 2001 to screen adult patients in a primary care setting for the presence and severity of depression. It rates depression based on the self-administered Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ). The PHQ is part of Pfizer’s larger suite of trademarked products, called the Primary Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD). The PHQ-10 takes less than 3 minutes to complete and simply scores each of the 9 DSM-IV criteria for depression based on the mood module from the original PRIME-MD. Primary care providers frequently use the PHQ-10 to screen for depression in patients.

Proven Depression Relief That Lasts
For Brainsway Deep TMS (Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), clinical data shows an 82% clinical response rate and a 65% remission rate for measurable depression relief, particularly for patients who have not fully responded to prior medications.
Physician-Recommended Treatment Protocols
If you’re grappling with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and have yet to discover relief through medications, Your psychiatrist or physician will evaluate your medical history to determine if Deep TMS is appropriate, typically recommending it if you haven’t responded well to standard antidepressant medications or psychotherapy.The treatment plan is customized by your doctor: Standard Protocol: Involves daily 20-minute sessions, usually 5 days a week for 4 to 6 weeks. Accelerated Protocol: A newer, condensed option that delivers a similar clinical benefit in as little as 3 weeks or sometimes over just a few days
Treating depression at the source
BrainsWay treats depression at its source by using patented Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) to non-invasively regulate neural activity in deeper, broader brain structures—such as the prefrontal cortex—that are directly responsible for mood regulation
Not drugs, Not Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT). What to expect
BrainsWay Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive outpatient treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions. Unlike ECT, it does not require anesthesia or hospitalization, causes no memory loss, and allows you to drive yourself to and from your appointments.
