Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression.
It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate a mood center of the brain, increasing activity in this area and providing lasting relief.
Remarkably, it has been reliably shown to help people with treatment-resistant depression- those that have not found success from traditional therapies such as antidepressants.
Here at South Shore NeuroPsychiatric Center, we have been using TMS to help our patients combat depression since 2010.

Ketamine is a novel treatment option for people who traditional treatments for depression such as antidepressants or psychotherapy have been ineffective.
When administered at low doses, ketamine has been reliably shown to be effective at alleviating symptoms of depression.
Furthermore, ketamine is fast-acting - studies have shown patients that respond can feel better in just 1-2 treatments, compared to antidepressants which can take 4 or more weeks to start working.
Dr. Fruitman and the staff at South Shore Neuropsychiatric Center are experienced in ketamine administration, and are committed to working with you to find a treatment that provides lasting relief.
