Revolutionize Your Mental Wellness Journey
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a mental wellness therapy that uses gentle electromagnetic waves. These waves pass through the scalp painlessly to activate specific brain cells. The FDA has approved TMS for treating major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), aiding in smoking cessation, and easing anxiety symptoms in individuals with depression. Additionally, thanks to the innovative efforts by Dr. Bonci and his team, TMS has also received CE European Community (CE) approval in Europe for treating addiction. This therapy has demonstrated very promising results in studies for PTSD, cognitive impairment, and some neurodegenerative disorders.
Many individuals turn to TMS when traditional treatments like antidepressants or psychotherapy have not fully succeeded. TMS integrates well with other therapies and can significantly change lives. Nearly two-thirds of people who undergo TMS experience complete remission from depression or major mood improvements, even those who have not responded well to other treatments.

Who Can Benefit From TMS?
Initially, scientists and medics developed transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). The results from research and clinical studies were highly encouraging. TMS has been found to treat clinical depression effectively and safely, providing lasting relief for those who do not respond to traditional treatments.
Ongoing research supports the use of TMS for other mental health conditions. The FDA has recognized its effectiveness and approved its application for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), smoking cessation, and anxiety disorders, with the latest approval in 2021 for improving anxiety symptoms in individuals with depression.
At GIA, under the leadership of founder Dr. Antonello Bonci, pioneering research continues into TMS as a treatment for addiction. In 2021, TMS also received CE approval in Europe for addiction treatments. Research shows TMS is beneficial for behavioral addictions too. A 2019 study indicated that TMS could reduce gambling severity and cocaine cravings in individuals with co-morbid gambling and cocaine disorders. GIA offers TMS for various behavioral and substance abuse disorders.
Clinical trials have demonstrated TMS’s effectiveness in reducing daily cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, and in increasing abstinence days in alcohol use disorder cases. At GIA, we provide TMS to those living with behavioral disorders such as gambling, in addition to substance abuse disorders.
Integrating TMS into Your Life
TMS offers a revolutionary approach to enhancing mental wellness. It is a non-invasive, painless procedure that requires only a short amount of your time. Typically administered as an outpatient service, TMS sessions last less than an hour and occur daily over four to six weeks. The convenience of TMS allows you to maintain your daily responsibilities, making it ideal for those with a busy schedule. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or simply wish to improve your mental performance, TMS may be an appropriate option for you.
