Recent clinical discussions in the medical field have highlighted a new advancement in TMS therapy known as SAINT, which stands for Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy.

The accelerated protocol is also more effective. Recent research suggests that the response rate for the accelerated protocol is around 70 to 80% as compared to 50 to 60% for the standard protocol.  Unfortunately, it is not yet covered by insurance.

rTMS and theta burst have been compared head-to-head and shown to be of equal effectiveness.  Consequently, Southeastern Psychiatric Associates offers both forms of treatment and it is entirely a matter of the personal preference of the patient.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has steadily gained recognition as a safe and effective treatment option for individuals with treatment-resistant depression. A recent article published in the American Journal of Psychiatry offers a comprehensive update on the current landscape of TMS therapy and its clinical application.

At Southeastern Psychiatric Associates (SEPA), our TMS Center was the first to bring TMS to the South Shore area, and is built on decades of experience in mental health care. We have been serving the community for years, combining compassion with the latest advancements in science and treatment.

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.

As the days grow longer and nature begins to wake up, spring becomes a symbol of renewal and resilience. At Southeastern Psychiatric Associates’ TMS Center, we see the same kind of awakening in the brain through Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that increases neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to form new neural pathways.

For those seeking a natural, whole-person approach to mental health, spring offers more than just a season of renewal—it’s an opportunity to explore new paths to healing.
