How to Know It’s Time to Refer a Patient for TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is no longer a “last resort” option. Today, many psychiatrists and clinics integrate it earlier in treatment plans for patients struggling with depression, anxiety, or other treatment-resistant conditions.

In this episode, we break down three clear signs it may be time to refer a patient for TMS—and why making that referral sooner can improve outcomes, reduce suffering, and restore quality of life.

✅ What you’ll learn:

When limited response to antidepressants or medication intolerance makes TMS the right next step

How to spot early signs of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) before symptoms worsen

Why some patients prefer non-invasive, drug-free options and how TMS fits that need

The importance of proactive referrals in shortening recovery time and improving long-term results

TMS is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates areas of the brain linked to mood regulation—without systemic side effects. For patients who are not responding to medication, or who want a safe and effective alternative, TMS offers hope.

If you’re a provider, recognizing when to refer could be the difference between prolonged struggle and timely recovery.
