Resources
Whether you are considering TMS for yourself or a loved one, or simply want to follow the science, these are the resources our editors rely on. TMS News is an editorial publication — we do not provide medical advice, and these links are not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician.
Research and evidence
- PubMed — the U.S. National Library of Medicine index of peer-reviewed TMS studies
- ClinicalTrials.gov — find TMS trials recruiting participants near you
- National Institute of Mental Health — overview of brain stimulation therapies
Professional organizations
- American Psychological Association — patient-friendly explainers on mental health treatments
- American Psychiatric Association — information on depression, anxiety, and treatment options
- Clinical TMS Society — the professional society for TMS clinicians
Finding treatment
TMS should be delivered by, or under the supervision of, a licensed physician. When evaluating a clinic, ask which conditions they treat, which device and protocols they use, whether they accept your insurance, and how they measure outcomes. Our guides — including What Is TMS Therapy? and What to Expect at Your First TMS Appointment — can help you prepare for that conversation.
If you are in crisis
If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.), available 24 hours a day. If there is immediate danger, call 911.
