This past year has completely warped our since of time. Have you found yourself wondering what day it is…month…perhaps even year? Maybe it feels like March of 2020 was 30 years ago….or 30 days?

You’re not alone!

We know 2020 was a challenging year full of hardships, grief, change, sadness, fear, and so many other emotions that continue to drag on and impact the way you feel. The good news is that modern science, medicine, and advanced technology brought us new vaccines that are a bright light at the end of a long tunnel.

Pandemic Fatigue Can Take A Toll On The Way You Feel

Unfortunately, the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel is very dim for those who suffer from Major Depression. The pandemic has really taken a toll on our mental health and made symptoms worse for those who suffer from common mental health disorders. We’re thankful that many people are reaching out for support through talk therapy and medications as we begin to emerge from the pandemic.

But we also know that medications, therapy, and other first-line treatments for depression don’t work for everyone or cause unwanted side effects such as:

  • nausea
  • increased appetite and weight gain
  • loss of sexual desire and other sexual problems
  • fatigue and drowsiness
  • insomnia
  • dry mouth
  • blurred vision
  • constipation

These unwanted side effects can be frustrating, stressful, and often add more weight to the crippling burden of depression. It’s an exhausting cycle of trying medication after medication without relief. Now, TMS Therapy can help patients breakthrough symptoms of Major Depression without any of the unwanted side effects of medication.

The Life-Changing Benefits of Personalized TMS Therapy

At TMS Brain Health, we help people in the Los Angeles community breakthrough depression and find renewed wellness. The way you feel matters especially as we move forward during these challenging times. We specialize in personalized TMS therapy that does not require the need for surgery, sedation, or anesthesia.

When creating your therapy protocol, our medical team considers how your mental health disorder manifests in your unique brain functioning. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor your progress and tweak the therapy based on your results. Our independent research has found that our success rate is significantly higher than that of other TMS providers, who often utilize unfocused, “one size fits all” TMS protocols. We have mastered the art of fine-tuning protocols to increase effectiveness by changing the duration of treatment, the frequency of stimulation, the number of sessions, and the placement on the head to target different brain areas.

Reviews

As someone who has struggled with depression for years, I was skeptical about trying alternative treatment options. However, the team at Bespoke Treatment made me feel comfortable and supported throughout the entire process. Not only did their TMS therapy provide significant relief for my depression symptoms, but I also had a positive experience with their ketamine therapy. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had.

I can't recommend this place enough. I had an incredible experience with the treatment I received here. From the administrative staff to the medical team, I really appreciated the outstanding care and attention I received and always felt listened to. There was never any sense of rushing or a "one size fits all" approach, which is sadly very much the norm elsewhere. I highly recommend coming here for the excellent quality of services, professionalism, and warmth that are so important when you're needing mental health treatment.

TMS was amazing for me . I loved my treatments , the doctors, the staff as well as the office itself. Its an amazing place to go for your wellbeing . Everyone is super nice, kind and extremely professional. The place is very easy to get to with available parking. Basically no stress. I felt very comfortable with my technician and all his knowledge about TMS . I also loved Dr. Fahimian . He is extremely educated and knowable in his field. His patience in taking his time to answer all my questions and concerns were highly appreciated.

I was severely depressed when starting treatment. I could not handle meds and had big hopes that TMS would work. It absolutely did wonders for lifting my depression. I have my life back. I have motivation to do things and energy to achieve goals. I really wasn’t sure if the TMS method would work, but it did and I am forever grateful. It even helped with my ruminating thoughts. I’m able to be in the moment and get back into doing things I enjoy. I highly recommend TMS to anyone who needs it.

Yes, we accept insurance!
