Nearly three in 10 adults in the United States experience depression during their lifetime. While common, depression can significantly disrupt your daily life. If other treatments haven’t eased ongoing or extreme sadness, consider Exomind® transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy.
With TMS, there’s no surgery, no anesthesia, and no need to pause your daily routine. If stubborn depression has been sticking around despite your best efforts, Exomind TMS may be an option worth learning more about.
See Evan Donin, PMHNP-BC, at Sunshine Mental Wellness Associates Inc. in Palm Harbor, Florida, or Melville, New York, for a mental health evaluation to learn if Exomind TMS treatment is right for you.
Exomind TMS uses cutting-edge transcranial magnetic stimulation, a noninvasive therapy used for major depressive disorder — particularly in patients who haven’t experienced success with other treatments.
Exomind is an FDA-cleared, painless treatment that uses magnetic energy and patented ExoTMS® technology to stimulate key areas of the brain comfortably. Examples include cognitive function, emotional regulation, and self-control. TMS activates specific nerve pathways to enhance neural connectivity and restore healthy brain function in a safe way.
Some of the benefits linked to Exomind TMS treatment at Sunshine Mental Wellness Associates Inc. may include:
You can resume your typical daily routine immediately after TMS treatment.

TMS treatment might also help with migraines and smoking cessation.
Evan places an electromagnetic coil against your scalp during Exomind TMS therapy. It delivers magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in your brain linked to mood control, activating areas that have decreased during depression. The pulses used to stimulate nerves create tapping and clicking sensations.
TMS treatment can last several minutes, up to 20 minutes, sometimes longer. You can get back to your routine after each session. Possible temporary side effects can include a brief headache, facial tingling, and/or lightheadedness.
Brain stimulation during TMS requires a series of treatment sessions to achieve the best outcome. You might complete TMS most days of the week for a period of several weeks or months. Depression symptom relief may improve after several weeks.
Evan can combine psychotherapy with Exomind TMS treatment to maximize your results. Sunshine Mental Wellness Associates Inc. can also help you manage bipolar disorder, personality disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and similar conditions.
