BrainsWay TMS Therapy in Ft. Lauderdale, FL

At Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches, we are proud to offer BrainsWay Deep TMS Therapy as part of our commitment to providing advanced, evidence-based treatments for depression and other mood disorders. During your BrainsWay TMS Therapy session at our office, you will be comfortably seated while a trained member of our clinical team carefully positions a cushioned helmet over your head. This specialized helmet contains a magnetic coil designed to deliver targeted pulses to the regions of your brain involved in mood regulation.

Our experienced staff will tailor the device settings to your personalized treatment plan, ensuring optimal results for your specific needs. As the session begins, you may notice a gentle tapping sensation on your scalp as the magnetic pulses are delivered. This sensation is normal and should not be painful. The magnetic stimulation works by activating nerve cells in the brain, which can lead to improvements in symptoms of depression and related conditions over time.

You will remain awake and comfortable throughout the entire procedure, which typically lasts around 20 minutes. Many of our patients choose to relax, listen to music, or simply unwind during their sessions. One of the key benefits of BrainsWay TMS Therapy at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches is that there is no downtime—you can immediately resume your regular daily activities, including driving or returning to work.

Whether patients can drive themselves to and from their appointments at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches—and resume normal activities afterward—depends on the type of psychiatric treatment or therapy they are receiving. For most routine visits, such as psychiatric evaluations, medication management, or psychotherapy sessions, patients can generally drive themselves and return to their daily routines without restrictions.

However, for certain treatments that may involve medications with sedating effects—such as adjustments to psychotropic medications, administration of long-acting injectables, or specific procedures like ketamine infusions or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—patients may experience drowsiness, impaired coordination, or other side effects that could affect their ability to drive safely. In these cases, it is advised that patients arrange for a responsible adult to accompany them and assist with transportation.

The ability to resume normal activities may also be delayed until any side effects have worn off, which can vary depending on the treatment or medication. It is important for patients to discuss the specifics of their treatment plan with their Psychiatrist or mental health provider at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches to understand any necessary precautions related to driving and activity restrictions after their appointment. Your safety is our priority, and we are happy to answer any questions regarding post-treatment recommendations.

The number of therapy sessions required for psychiatric treatment at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches can vary significantly depending on the specific mental health condition being addressed, the treatment approach used, and individual patient factors such as age, overall health, and unique life circumstances. For many psychiatric treatments—such as psychotherapy, medication management, or a combination of both—a series of regular sessions is often recommended to achieve the best possible results. Typically, patients may attend weekly or biweekly sessions over the course of several months, although some individuals may benefit from a shorter or longer duration of care, depending on their progress and needs.

Visible improvements in mental health can also differ greatly from person to person. Some individuals may start to notice positive changes, such as reduced anxiety or improved mood, after just a few sessions, while others may require more time before significant progress becomes apparent. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) may help reduce symptoms of depression or anxiety within several weeks, but the full benefits often develop gradually as new coping skills are learned and practiced.

It is important to follow the recommended treatment plan and maintain open communication with your psychiatrist or therapist. Your provider at Psychiatry of the Palm Beaches will closely monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment as needed to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. Remember, patience and consistency are key—lasting improvements in mental health often develop over time with regular, dedicated care.
