TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
What is TMS?
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an FDA approved treatment for depression where a doctor painlessly stimulates a patients' brain with safe electromagnets.
What are the uses of TMS?
TMS is used to treat depression in the patient population who don’t respond to antidepressant medication and psychotherapy.
How TMS therapy works?
The magnetic pulses induce small electric currents that change the firing patterns of neurons, altering dysfunctional brain patterns associated with depression. In simple words, TMS stimulates specific areas of the brain to provide relief and break the cycle of depression.
A Patient’s Experience with TMS
I have been a patient of Dr. Khan’s at ACAPS McKinney for over 3 years now. Having just finished my TMS treatment, I highly recommend it to anyone considering it. I feel this is the biggest improvement in the shortest amount of time in my treatment. I enjoy socializing more, I’m smiling more, I feel happier, and I’m friendlier overall. I’ll still get anxious or emotional sometimes, but it feels like I have a more normal grasp of my well-being and emotions. I feel not that life’s challenges are gone, but that I’m now better equipped to handle them.
On top of this, the staff and Dr. Khan are very caring and personable. I really do believe they care about their patients and want them to get better.
I recommend ACAPS to anyone seeking psychiatric treatment

It is important to determine how to most effectively administer your individual treatment, your first session may last up to an hour and a half.
