There’s a new treatment that opens up groundbreaking opportunities for younger individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression.

Previously available only to 18+ adults, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is now available as a treatment option for adolescents ages 15-18 at Active Path Mental Health.

Depression in adolescents can have far-reaching effects on many facets of their lives (think: academic performance, relationships, and overall well-being), so early intervention is critical.

This painless, non-invasive, FDA-cleared therapy offers a new pathway to relief, allowing young individuals to take control of their mental health without the debilitating side effects often associated with medications. The adjunct therapy:

  • Uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation
  • Provides relief to individuals who haven’t found success with traditional treatment methods like medication or talk therapy

According to a study done by Neuronetics involving 1,000+ adolescent patients, 78% reported improvement in depression symptoms, and 48% experienced complete remission after undergoing TMS treatment.

Connect with Active Path to see if this treatment is a good fit for your teen + to ask about insurance and financial payment options.
