TMS TREATMENT EXPLAINED

Sending a referral form

Your GP or psychiatrist would need to send us a referral. Please ask your doctor to address the referral to AwareHub TMS mental health clinic and request TMS treatment for your particular presenting condition e.g. depression, anxiety & OCD.

Initial contact

A friendly team member at AwareHub mental health clinic will contact you within 48 hours of receiving your referral to arrange an appointment for your treatment. If it is considered necessary, we might suggest booking an initial assessment appointment prior to your treatment to clarify your suitability for TMS treatment and discuss the most appropriate treatment protocol.

Resting motor threshold (with psychiatrist)

At the first appointment our psychiatrist will explain the TMS treatment and assess your pre-treatment condition. You will be asked to complete standardised questionnaires to determine the extent of your pre-treatment symptoms. These will be completed at regular intervals to gauge your progress. The psychiatrist will discuss the most suitable protocol for your individual presentation and availability to attend the clinic.  We will also do a few basic measurements to determine the placement of the TMS coil and the correct dose of your treatment. The first appointment is typically 30-45 minutes. 

Acute treatment (phase 1)

In this TMS phase you will undergo 3-5 treatment sessions per week for approximately 4 weeks (20 sessions). Your progress is carefully monitored by our registered nurse and psychiatrist. You will also complete standardised mood and anxiety questionnaires following sessions 12 and 22 to evaluate your progress. We will provide regular written updates regarding your treatment to your referring doctor.

Acute treatment (phase 2)

After the first phase of treatment, changes in your mood should be noticeable. If TMS is effective, treatment will continue, but the frequency of weekly treatments might decrease. You will be assessed at regular intervals by our psychiatrist. A typical course of TMS treatment for depression, anxiety and OCD includes 35 sessions.  

Maintenance

As part of your relapse prevention plan, TMS is tapered down and not ceased abruptly. TMS for depression, anxiety & OCD is generally reduced to a once weekly or fortnightly session. Treatment may cease or you might prefer to continue with maintenance TMS. We  work collaboratively to ensure that you are comfortable with any decisions regarding your care. 

Session Duration

The length of a TMS treatment varies and dependent on your presentation and the selected treatment protocol. A treatment ranges from  less than one minute to 19 minutes.
