Antidepressants not working?
Try TMS.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a FDA-approved, safe, and non-drug treatment for those who have tried 2 or more antidepressants. Now it’s available at Sagent Behavioral Health in Eden Prairie, MN and Maple Grove, MN.
If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants and still can’t find relief, you may feel like you’re out of options. But there is hope!
TMS targets depression at the source using a mild magnetic field (like an MRI) to stimulate the part of the brain that’s under-stimulated in people with depression.
It’s non-invasive, comfortable, covered by most insurance, and has none of the side effects of traditional depression treatment!
83% of patients recover from depression and experience long-lasting relief, and you can, too, while spots are available.
What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?
TMS therapy is a non-drug treatment for major depression. Using magnetic pulses, like an MRI, it reignites dormant synapses in the brain and helps your brain function the way it was meant to.
It’s not a drug, “shock” therapy, or surgery. You’re totally awake and alert during treatment and many patients will read or watch TV during their 20-minute sessions. It’s a safe and effective treatment for depression without the common side effects of medication.

Why TMS?
Proven Effective
TMS has been FDA approved for the treatment of depression since 2008, TMS therapy has helped many patients find relief—approximately 83% experience improvement, and about 62% achieve full remission. Both clinical research and patient experience show that TMS works.
Convenient
Treatments typically take 30 minutes or less often shorter than a lunch break and can be scheduled to fit your routine. You remain fully awake and alert during sessions, with the ability to read, relax, or watch TV. Patients can drive themselves to and from appointments and return to daily activities right away.
Long-lasting
TMS therapy has been shown to provide lasting benefits, with many patients maintaining improvement for up to a year after treatment.

FAQs
Most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping on the scalp. Unlike older treatments, TMS requires no anesthesia or sedation. You remain fully awake and alert from start to finish. The treatment is approachable and gentle and you can drive yourself home or head back to work immediately after your session.
TMS can be an alternative solution for those who haven’t found relief through traditional paths. TMS may be the wise next step in your journey if you have tried multiple antidepressant medications without relief (often called treatment-resistant depression). We conduct a thorough clinical screening to ensure it’s the right fit for your specific needs.
TMS treatment involves short sessions (usually 20 minutes) performed five days a week for about six to seven weeks. This consistency is the key to lasting change because it helps the brain build long-term resilience and stability.
One of the most positive benefits of TMS is its lack of systemic side effects. Because it doesn’t involve medication, you won’t experience things like weight gain or brain fog. The most common experience is a mild, temporary headache or scalp discomfort during the first few treatments as your body adjusts.
Yes. Most major insurance plans and Medicare cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression. We believe life-changing technology should be inclusive and accessible. Our team will handle the complexity of insurance authorizations so you can focus entirely on getting well.
