Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is rooted in dysregulated activity between the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex, structures that process fear memory and emotional regulation. The FDA has cleared TMS for PTSD, making it a validated non-pharmacological option for veterans, first responders, and survivors of trauma who have not responded to SSRIs or trauma-focused therapy alone.
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.
Only a qualified provider can determine whether TMS is appropriate for you. Schedule a free consultation to discuss your options.
What to Expect
TMS for PTSD targets the right DLPFC with low-frequency inhibitory pulses to reduce amygdala reactivity, and may also include medial prefrontal cortex stimulation. Many patients combine TMS with trauma-focused therapy (CPT or EMDR) for the best outcomes. Sessions are 20–40 minutes daily over 4–6 weeks.
From your first call to your final session, here is what to expect when starting TMS for PTSD at Segal Telepsychiatry Network.
