Who is not a candidate for TMS?

People with metal above their neck are not candidates, as this is an MRI-like magnetic field. Coils, shunts, and other metals in the head are a contraindication. Most titanium and dental fillers are safe.

It is important to inform your doctor if you have a history of bipolar disorder, as TMS can cause a manic episode in those with a history of bipolar.

Neurological conditions and substance abuse can increase the risk of seizures. Those with a history of seizure disorders, strokes, brain tumors, dementia, and Parkinson’s should notify their doctor before starting TMS therapy.
