Who Is a Candidate?
Is Deep TMS right for you?
Deep TMS is often considered for adults and adolescents with conditions such as major depressive disorder or OCD — especially when medications or other approaches haven't brought enough relief. You may be a good fit if you recognize yourself in any of the following.
- Antidepressants haven't provided enough relief
- Medication side effects have been difficult to manage
- You're looking for a drug-free, non-invasive option
- You want evidence-based care from a specialized team
- You're seeking treatment beyond a general psychiatric practice
- You're exploring options for yourself or an adolescent family member
Every patient is unique. A clinical evaluation with our physician-led team is the best way to determine candidacy — and whether Deep TMS may be appropriate for your situation.

Wondering if you're a candidate?
What Is Deep TMS
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation — how it works
Deep TMS is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood and related conditions. Sessions are outpatient — you remain awake, and most people return to their day afterward.
What Deep TMS is
Targeted magnetic stimulation of brain circuits involved in depression, OCD, and related conditions — without surgery, implants, or systemic medication.
How it works
Gentle pulses, similar in type to an MRI, encourage healthier activity in mood-related brain regions. No anesthesia is required.
Different from medication
Deep TMS acts on brain activity directly rather than through the bloodstream — an option when antidepressants haven't helped enough or side effects are hard to tolerate.
Different from traditional TMS
Traditional TMS focuses on more surface-level areas. Deep TMS is designed to reach deeper structures, which can support a wider set of FDA-cleared uses.
Why BrainsWay technology is different
Badlands uses the BrainsWay Deep TMS system — FDA-cleared technology with a specialized H-coil design. It reaches deeper brain structures than conventional TMS, supporting treatment across a broader range of FDA-cleared indications including major depressive disorder and OCD.
- FDA-cleared Deep TMS technology
- Deeper stimulation than traditional TMS
- Multiple FDA-cleared indications
- Trusted by clinics worldwide
- Non-invasive, outpatient care
