A non-invasive treatment for depression uses a magnetic coil held against the scalp to create gentle electric currents in specific brain regions.

What is this approved depression therapy called?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas linked to mood, and it is approved for depression that has not responded to medication. Sessions are done while the patient is awake, with no surgery or anesthesia.

TMS holds a magnetic coil against the scalp, generating a changing magnetic field that passes painlessly through the skull and induces a small current in a targeted brain region linked to mood. This gentle stimulation is thought to rebalance underactive circuits tied to depression, and it's approved specifically when standard medications haven't helped enough.

Whole-body cryotherapy briefly exposes the body to extreme cold, marketed for recovery or wellness, unrelated to depression treatment via brain stimulation. Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea for vision, an entirely different field.

TMS needs no anesthesia at all; patients stay awake, sitting through each session, then typically resume normal activities immediately afterward.
