Our team will reach out within 24 hours of contact to schedule your free initial consultation. The consultation will help us both decide if you move on to a formal psychiatry clearance evaluation. During this Psychiatric Evaluation, Dr. Bening will review medical history, assess depression and other mental health symptoms, screen for contraindications, prescribe the TMS procedure for appropriate candidates, ensure that you fully understand the TMS procedure, answer any questions you have and give guidance as to what to expect during TMS in Burnet or Killeen.
Please Note: Contraindications for TMS include any metal in the head (including cochlear implants) and/or a history of seizures.
Insurance has certain requirements in order to cover the procedure and these include a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder, a history of 2-4 failed medication trials depending on your coverage plan, as well as a trial of psychotherapy for at least 3 months.
Once you are medically cleared, approved via insurance (if using), and ready to start TMS, we will schedule your appointments in our Burnet, Killeen or Dripping Springs clinic. Appointments last anywhere from 5-20 minutes. Your initial session will involve a "Cortical Mapping" in which our advanced system determines the exact spot that will be stimulated, typically the Left and/or Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) depending on the treatment protocol. You are able to drive yourself to and from your treatment session, and there is no down-time following your TMS therapy appointment. Most protocols are 3-5 times per week for 3-7 weeks.
Following your TMS depression protocol, the doctor may recommend "maintenance" treatments to maintain your results and prevent future relapse of symptoms. There are different options when it comes to maintenance therapy, but research suggests 1-2 sessions per week. Our experience has been that doing an additional week at a time is also very effective. Your TMS provider will be advising you throughout your treatment course and together you can come up with the best plan that suits your personal situation.
