If you’ve tried antidepressants and still don’t feel like yourself, you are not alone — and you are not failing. For many individuals in Randolph, Braintree, Milton, and surrounding Massachusetts communities, depression can feel like a long road of medication changes, side effects, and lingering symptoms. When depression doesn’t respond as expected, there is a clinical explanation — and there are evidence-based next steps.

"which antidepressant is the most effective?"  Interestingly, all of the antidepressants have roughly the same level of efficacy.  In other words, if you take 100 random patients and put them on any one of the antidepressants, you will see roughly the same percent of patients have a response, and the same percent have a full remission.  The answer, therefore, is that all antidepressants are equally effective, at least until you try them.

Understanding what truly qualifies someone for TMS helps protect patients, sets realistic expectations, and ensures that advanced treatment is used responsibly and effectively.

TMS is not a medication at all, and therefore operates on very different principles.  Fundamentally, it is the same physics as a cordless cell phone charger. But here we are not charging a battery, but rather making an important region of the brain more active and stronger.
