Frequently Asked Questions about EXOMind TMS
What is EXOMind TMS?
EXOMind TMS is a next-generation transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system used to treat depression by stimulating specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Unlike older TMS technology, EXOMind uses advanced sensors, refined targeting, and shorter treatment sessions — all designed to improve comfort, enhance precision, and support better outcomes
How does TMS work?
TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to activate underactive areas of the brain that contribute to depression. These pulses help strengthen neural pathways involved in emotional regulation, mood, focus, and resilience.
It’s completely non-invasive — no anesthesia, no sedation, and no downtime.
How is EXOMind different from traditional TMS?
EXOMind stands out because it offers:
- Shorter, more comfortable sessions EXOMind 6 sessions vs 36 sessions with older TMS Systems
- Enhanced precision and targeting of mood-related brain regions
- Refined stimulation patterns for patient comfort
- Innovative coil design that improves pulse consistency
- A more calming, modern treatment experience
Many patients describe EXOMind treatments as more relaxing and easier to tolerate compared to older TMS systems.
Who is a good candidate for EXOMind TMS?
EXOMind may be a great fit if you:
- Have major depressive disorder
- Have not found relief from antidepressant medications
- Prefer a non-invasive treatment option
- Want a therapy with minimal side effects and no downtime
- Are looking for something that fits comfortably into your weekly routine
Dr. Amy will review your medical history and current symptoms to determine whether TMS is right for you.
Does EXOMind TMS hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as tapping or clicking on the scalp — noticeable but very tolerable.
EXOMind is designed with comfort in mind, using stimulation patterns that minimize discomfort, especially during the first few sessions
How long does each session take?
One of the biggest benefits of EXOMind is its shorter treatment time.
Sessions typically takes less than 30 minutes, depending on your individualized treatment plan — much quicker than older TMS systems, which often take 40–60 minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients only require six sessions performed either once or twice weekly.
Your exact schedule will be tailored to your needs, and our treatment team will guide you through each step.
What results can I expect?
Many patients begin noticing improvements in mood, energy, and clarity within the first few weeks of treatment.
Research shows that TMS can significantly reduce depressive symptoms — and EXOMind’s advanced technology may help patients respond even faster and more consistently.
Are there any side effects?
TMS is extremely well tolerated. Possible side effects are typically mild and temporary, including:
- Slight scalp discomfort during treatment
- Mild headache afterward
- Fatigue after the first few sessions
Most patients are able to drive, work, and resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is TMS safe?
Yes — TMS has been FDA-approved for depression since 2008 and has an excellent safety profile.
EXOMind further enhances safety with real-time monitoring and precision-targeted stimulation.
Can I continue my current medications during TMS?
Yes. Most antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and other medications are completely safe to continue during TMS.
Dr. Amy will review your medication list during your initial consultation.
Is EXOMind TMS covered by insurance?
Coverage varies by plan, but many insurance providers cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression.
Our clinic does not accept insurance, but we can provide you with a super bill to submit for potential retroactive reimbursement.
