Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been recommended by the American Psychiatric Association since 2010 for treatment of major depressive disorder and approved by the UK National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in 2015.
During treatment, magnetic pulses are delivered through a magnetic coil to stimulate nerve cells in the parts of the brain controlling the mood. Repeated stimulation of this area of the brain can have an antidepressants effect on people suffering from major depressive disorder.
