For adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have not responded to medication, Rogers also offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Outpatient Care at our Oconomowoc and San Francisco East Bay campuses. TMS uses targeted, magnetic pulses to increase the brain’s activity over time, which may decrease depressive symptoms. We can work with you to help determine if this approach is right for you.
