Using gentle magnetic pulses, it targets mood-regulating brain areas without anesthesia, fitting seamlessly into daily life.

While ECT still holds higher success rates for severe cases, rTMS fills a critical gap, expanding mental health options and making advanced care affordable for more people across the province.
