Maintenance TMS refers to follow-up sessions after an initial course, intended to help sustain improvement. Not everyone needs or receives maintenance sessions. Whether it's appropriate is a clinical decision.

Some people maintain improvement after a single course without additional sessions. Others may benefit from periodic follow-up. The decision depends on your response, history, and circumstances.

Curious whether you'd qualify?

If you've tried medication and you're still not yourself, you may be a candidate for SAINT®. Our team will give you a straight answer.

Depression can return after treatment. If symptoms recur, that doesn't mean the treatment failed — it means the condition is active again, and you can discuss next steps with your provider. Maintenance sessions are one option; there are others.

If you're considering TMS, ask your provider about what happens after the course ends. Understanding the full picture — including potential maintenance — helps you make an informed decision.
