TMS Therapy for ADHD
TMS for ADHD targets the right prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex — areas involved in attention, impulse control, and executive function. By delivering focused magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates these under-activated regions, improving concentration, working memory, and behavioral regulation. It offers a promising non-pharmacological option for individuals who cannot tolerate stimulant medications or who want a complementary approach.
Signs TMS May Help Your ADHD
Many patients who come to us for TMS have tried medications or therapy with limited results. If you recognize these patterns, a TMS evaluation may be worth exploring.
- Persistent difficulty sustaining attention on tasks or conversations
- Frequent forgetfulness and losing track of important items
- Impulsivity and difficulty waiting your turn
- Excessive restlessness or feeling driven by a motor
- Poor time management and chronic disorganization
- Stimulant medications have caused intolerable side effects
Only a qualified provider can determine whether TMS is appropriate for you. Schedule a free consultation to discuss your options.
What to Expect
Your TMS Treatment Plan for ADHD
TMS for ADHD typically involves targeting right-hemisphere dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) circuits. Sessions follow a similar schedule to depression TMS — daily visits over 4–6 weeks. Our team uses qEEG brain mapping to personalize the treatment protocol to your specific neural pattern, improving targeting accuracy and outcomes.
