Questions, answered

What is the “accelerated protocol”?+

Rather than spreading treatment across six weeks, the accelerated protocol compresses sessions into a much shorter window — making a full course practical even for an executive flying in for a few days. The 2026 SWIFT trial studied its long-term durability.

How long is each session?+

About three minutes. You’re awake and alert the whole time, and you walk out and back to your day — no sedation, no recovery.

How is this different from conventional TMS?+

Conventional TMS typically spreads treatment across six weeks of daily visits. The accelerated protocol compresses the full course into days — about 70% fewer acute-phase clinic visits — while the 2026 SWIFT trial found most patients remained in remission through twelve months.

Can I start on the accelerated protocol without failing medications first?+

Yes — especially on self-pay. We lead with the most effective protocol because the evidence supports it, not because an insurer required you to fail another pill first.
