The West Palm Beach VA Healthcare System (WPBVAHCS) is proud to announce the successful treatment of its first Veteran using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) at the Thomas H. Corey VA Medical Center. This milestone marks a meaningful step forward in broadening advanced mental health treatment options available to Veterans in the region.
TMS is a non-invasive, FDA‑cleared treatment for depression, anxiety, and certain other conditions such as obsessive‑compulsive disorder and smoking cessation. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that influence mood and emotion, offering a drug‑free and safe option for Veterans who have not found relief through traditional medications or psychotherapy. Each treatment session typically lasts 20–30 minutes, with patients coming in five days a week for several weeks as part of a personalized care plan.
