Teen TMS Therapy in Los Angeles, CA
Teen TMS Overview
Adolescents above the age of 15 can receive Deep TMS Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
When a teen is depressed, it affects school, friendships, motivation, and family life. If therapy and medication have not been enough, TMS may be an option. Breakthrough TMS provides Deep TMS using the BrainsWay 104 System and follows FDA-cleared age ranges and clinical screening to determine fit.

A Teen-Friendly Treatment Experience
TMS is performed while your teen is awake and seated comfortably. Sessions are brief and do not require anesthesia. Many families schedule appointments before school, after school, or around activities.
Cost & Insurance
Insurance coverage varies by plan and indication. We will verify benefits and explain options before scheduling treatment.
Important Note About Age
FDA-cleared indications and age ranges vary by condition. For teens, the clearest FDA-cleared pathway is for major depressive disorder in adolescents within the cleared age range, and treatment is always individualized and based on screening.
