In this brief monologue, Shari B. Kaplan, LCSW, highlights the extensive research base—over 20,000 studies since 1985—supporting transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). She explains that TMS’s therapeutic success stems from its multiple biological actions: it reduces inflammation, enhances brain plasticity and oxygenation, and triggers the release of key neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and GABA. These combined effects underpin the modality’s effectiveness across various mental health conditions.
