Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is clinically proven to safely and effectively relieve depressive symptoms, even in patients with treatment-resistant depression. Not only is TMS successful in alleviating symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, but the results are also long-lasting. 62.5% of people who found relief with TMS continued to have fewer depression symptoms one year after treatment.
TMS therapy is a cost-effective treatment because of its proven long-lasting results for depression. However, the cost of TMS therapy can vary greatly for each patient. If you have depression, how many antidepressants you've tried without successful symptom control. All major insurance companies cover the cost of TMS for the treatment of depression.

This review is for Sephanie Neves, DNP and not for the physician. I never was able to see Ms. Neves as she fabricated numerous false stories as to why she could not fulfill an rx during covid19 rather than be direct and responsible upon first contact. Ms. Neves was blatantly dishonest and rude in tone when her dishonesty was uncovered. I have no knowledge of her abilities as a nurse practitioner and am merely referring to her total lack of etiquette and professionalism.

I suffered from debilitating anxiety and did not even notice my depressive symptoms until I got relieved from anxiety. I was under the care of a young Psychiatrist, whose treatment worked wonders for anxiety. Yet, his medication could
