Living with depression can feel exhausting, especially when you have tried medications, therapy, or lifestyle changes and still feel like something is missing. For some people, traditional treatments may not provide the relief they hoped for.
Treatment-resistant depression does not mean there are no options. Advances in psychiatric care, including Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS), offer a new approach designed to support people who need additional treatment options.
At Resonance Mental Health, we provide personalized psychiatric care in New Hampshire, combining advanced treatments with compassionate support to help each patient find a path forward.

What Is Deep TMS?
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is a non-invasive psychiatric treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Unlike traditional treatments that rely only on medication, Deep TMS works by targeting brain regions associated with depression symptoms.
This innovative treatment is designed to support patients who may not have experienced enough improvement from other approaches.

How Does Deep TMS Work?
During a Deep TMS session, a specialized device delivers gentle magnetic stimulation through a treatment helmet placed on the patient’s head.
The process is:
• Patient sits comfortably during treatment
• Magnetic pulses are delivered to targeted brain areas
• Sessions are typically brief and scheduled regularly
• Patients can return to normal activities afterward
Deep TMS does not require surgery or anesthesia, making it an accessible option for many individuals seeking additional depression treatment options.
Who Can Benefit From Deep TMS?
Deep TMS may be considered for individuals experiencing any of the following:
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Some people continue experiencing depression symptoms despite trying different medications or therapies. Deep TMS may offer another option when standard treatments have not provided enough improvement.
Persistent Depression Symptoms
Depression can affect sleep, motivation, relationships, work, and daily life. A personalized treatment plan may help address these ongoing challenges.
Patients Seeking Non-Medication Treatment Options
Some patients prefer exploring treatments beyond medication alone. Deep TMS can be part of an integrative psychiatric approach.
Benefits of Deep TMS Treatment
Deep TMS may offer several benefits, including:
Non-Invasive Treatment
Deep TMS does not involve surgery and is performed in an outpatient setting.
Personalized Psychiatric Care
Treatment plans are developed around each patient’s needs, symptoms, and goals.
Additional Options for Difficult-to-Treat Depression
For individuals who have struggled with finding effective treatment, Deep TMS can provide another path toward improvement.
Convenient Outpatient Support
Patients can receive treatment while continuing their regular routines.
What to Expect During Deep TMS Treatment
Starting a new treatment can feel overwhelming. At Resonance Mental Health, we focus on making the process comfortable and understandable.
Your care journey may include:
• Initial psychiatric evaluation
• Discussion of your mental health history and goals
• Review of previous treatments
• Personalized treatment recommendations
• Ongoing monitoring and support
Every patient’s experience is different, and our team works with you throughout the process.
Deep TMS vs Medication Management: Finding the Right Approach
Medication can be an important part of psychiatric care, but it is not the only option.
At Resonance Mental Health, our medication management approach focuses on:
• Finding the most effective treatment with the fewest unnecessary side effects
• Careful monitoring and adjustments
• Understanding your individual needs
For some patients, Deep TMS may be combined with medication management, therapy, and other supportive strategies.
How Genetic Testing Can Support Personalized Treatment
Every person responds differently to medications. Pharmacogenomic testing examines genetic factors that may influence how your body processes certain medications.
This information can help providers make more informed treatment decisions and reduce some trial-and-error in medication selection.
