"Depression currently ranks as a leading cause of disability. With 1 in 6 Americans suffering from depression there is a huge need for treatments that are proven to make a difference in the battle against this debilitating disease" said Manish Sheth, MD, PhD, founder of Achieve TMS. "Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is known to be an effective tool in the battle. Patients and their families are looking for an effective way to move away from depression into a place where lives are productive, balanced, healthy and well integrated. TMS is a vital tool that helps facilitate healing and we have established a commitment to working in partnership with psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists in the local Wilsonville area to expand access to this treatment option."

Deep TMS works by administering magnetic pulses through an H-coil on the scalp that is targeted to the mood center of the brain. The magnetic fields induce electrical currents that stimulate underactive neurons, helping to reset brain chemistry, resulting in improved sleep, concentration and overall mood. It is safe, non-invasive and highly effective for those who are treatment resistant and/or have experienced no relief from medication.

In more than 60 clinical studies globally, dTMS has consistently demonstrated statistically significant response and remission rates. The therapy is well tolerated by patients, causing no adverse effects. Treatment sessions are prescribed five days per week for six weeks, with each session lasting 20 minutes. There is no sedation involved, and no down time.

The new Achieve TMS Center in Wilsonville is located at 8755 S.W. Citizens Drive Suite 203.

Achieve TMS welcomes inquiries about dTMS treatments and is scheduling complimentary consultations and appointments for Wilsonville at this time. For more information please contact Achieve TMS at (877) 391-7019 or visit www.achievetms.com.
