When Antidepressants Stop Working, There Is Another Option
You Have Tried Medication.
It Has Not Been Enough.
Roughly one in three people living with Major Depressive Disorder do not get adequate relief from antidepressant medications even after trying multiple prescriptions. If that describes your experience, you are not out of options.
NeuroStar TMS was specifically developed for this population. It works by stimulating the precise area of the brain where depression activity is reduced rather than by altering body chemistry. For Fort Lauderdale and Miami patients who have exhausted the medication route, this is often the breakthrough they have been waiting for.
Tried antidepressants without satisfactory relief
NeuroStar is FDA-cleared specifically for patients who have not achieved satisfactory improvement from prior medication in the current episode.
Cannot tolerate antidepressant side effects
Weight changes, sleep disruption, and sexual dysfunction are common reasons South Florida patients seek a non-drug alternative.
Prefer a drug-free approach
TMS introduces nothing into your bloodstream. The entire treatment happens externally through focused magnetic energy directed at the scalp.
Magnetic Pulses. Targeted Delivery.
Measurable Results.
NeuroStar TMS directs magnetic pulses comparable in strength to those used in MRI machines to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the region of the brain that regulates mood and is measurably underactive in people with depression.
Pinpoint Targeting
The magnetic coil maps your personal motor threshold before treatment begins. Every pulse reaches exactly the right location, calibrated specifically to your individual brain anatomy.
Sessions That Fit Your Life
Each appointment runs between 19 and 37 minutes. Patients sit comfortably, remain fully awake, and walk straight out the door afterward with no one needed to drive them.
Results That Hold
Published clinical research demonstrates that the antidepressant effects of NeuroStar TMS remain durable for 12 months or longer in patients who complete their full course of treatment.
Real Data. Real Patients. Real Relief.
The following figures come from one of the largest observational studies of TMS therapy ever conducted, tracking actual patients across real clinical practices.
*Individual results vary. Based on published outcomes data. Patients' results may vary.
A Process Built Around Your Schedule
For patients throughout Broward County, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach County, getting started with NeuroStar TMS at New Sunrise Mental Health is straightforward from day one.
Physician Evaluation
A qualified provider reviews your history, confirms candidacy, and maps your individual treatment parameters on your first session to ensure precise targeting every appointment.
Daily Treatment Sessions
Five sessions per week, 19 to 37 minutes each. You sit comfortably as the magnetic coil delivers pulses to the targeted brain region. A light tapping sensation is common and most patients read or rest during treatment.
Immediate Return to Normal Activity
No sedation, no impairment, no waiting period after each session. Patients leave and go directly to work, errands, or home fully alert every single time.
Full Course: 7 to 9 Weeks
Completing all 36 sessions gives patients the strongest foundation for lasting depression relief. Many begin noticing improvements as early as weeks three and four.
Three Things NeuroStar TMS Is Not
Patients in Fort Lauderdale and Miami often come in with questions about how TMS compares to other treatments they have heard about.
Not ECT
Electroconvulsive therapy uses electrical current, requires general anesthesia, and intentionally induces a seizure. NeuroStar TMS uses magnetic fields, requires no sedation, and carries no intentional seizure risk. The two share almost nothing in common beyond treating depression.
Not a Medication
Nothing enters your body. No pills, no injections, no chemicals circulating through your bloodstream. The treatment happens entirely through an external magnetic coil positioned against the scalp with no systemic side effects.
Not Invasive
No incision. No implant. No anesthesia. No needle. The coil simply rests against the outside of the head and nothing crosses the skin barrier. NeuroStar TMS is completely external in every sense.
Most Insurance Plans Cover This Treatment
Before assuming TMS is out of reach financially, check. Medicare covers it nationwide. Tricare covers it for military families. Most major commercial carriers have approved NeuroStar TMS for qualifying patients. Our team contacts your insurer directly and confirms your benefits before your first appointment at no cost to you.
What Patients Say After
Completing Treatment
I spent two years cycling through different prescriptions. TMS was the first thing that actually changed how I felt, not just managed it. Within five weeks I noticed a genuine difference in my daily life.
