Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is performed in a psychiatric office, under the supervision of Dr. Deirmenjian, using a medical device called the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system. The typical initial treatment course consists of at least 5 treatments per week over a 4-6 week period, for an average of 20-30 total treatments. Each treatment session lasts approximately 40 minutes.
Have you sought treatment for your depression from antidepressants only to find less than satisfactory results? NeuroStar TMS Therapy is a new treatment option clinically proven to improve symptoms of depression in patients that did not respond to prior antidepressant treatment.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, TMS Therapy, uses short pulses of magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in one of the areas of the brain thought to control mood. TMS Therapy is performed in our psychiatric office while you remain awake and alert.

TMS therapy is a highly recommended option for managing depression, anxious depression, and OCD with its effectiveness, safety, and convenience being key reasons for its growing popularity. Using magnetic fields, it targets specific brain regions regulating mood and emotions. Studies have consistently shown its high success rate in reducing symptoms of such disorders. Unlike traditional, chemical-based medications, TMS therapy has minimal side effects, making it a reliable alternative.
This cutting edge, FDA cleared depression treatment is a non-invasive procedure that does not require sedation, drugs, and has minimal to no side-effects. By utilizing MRI-strength magnetic pulses directed at specific locations of the brain, we are able to stimulate areas known to affect mood and emotional regulation.
As a regional leader in successfully treating patients, the Premier TMS Centers of Los Angeles, headed by Dr. John Deirmenjian, provide excellent and compassionate care. Over the course of treatment, we aim to stimulate the brain in a way that can lead to improvements in mood, energy, productivity, and overall happiness. Utilizing an FDA cleared, out-patient procedure, we accept patients at any one of our three convenient locations in Beverly Hills, Glendale, and Long Beach.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a technological breakthrough in the treatment of Major Depression. Cleared for use by the FDA in October 2008, TMS is a non-invasive, non-systemic treatment that utilizes MRI strength magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain known to be underactive in depression.
