Does Tms Work for Ptsd

Research demonstrates that TMS therapy is an effective PTSD treatment. That makes TMS for PTSD a promising alternative to other forms of therapy that have failed. TMS therapy may not completely get rid of your PTSD, but it can help to reduce your symptoms and make them more manageable.

How do you qualify for TMS treatment?

1. No suicidal ideation.
2. No psychotic symptoms.
3. No metal in the cranium.
4. No neurological conditions (seizures).
5. Not pregnant or nursing.
6. No substance abuse.

Do you need a referral for TMS?

Your primary psychiatrist will most likely not offer TMS as a treatment option, and you will need a referral from them to start the therapy with a TMS provider. Your psychiatrist can help you find a provider in your area who will accept your insurance (TMS is now covered by most major insurance companies).
