Each TMS session lasts about 20 to 40 minutes. Patients typically receive treatment five times a week for several weeks. The exact duration depends on individual needs and treatment plans.

During TMS sessions, you will sit comfortably while a magnetic coil is placed on your head. You may hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation. Most patients find the experience relaxing.
