Drug-Free Treatment
A Breakthrough in Depression, PTSD, Anxiety & OCD Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex — the brain region governing mood. It's proven effective for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD), OCD, and PTSD.
When antidepressants like SSRIs, SNRIs, or tricyclics fail to provide adequate relief after two or more trials, your condition may qualify as Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) — the primary indication TRICARE covers for TMS therapy.
At GlobeCoRe Atlanta, our licensed psychiatric team delivers NeuroStar TMS and dTMS protocols in a calm, private setting — and handles every step of your TRICARE authorization so you can focus entirely on healing.

Understanding the Invisible Wounds
For service members, veterans, and families—PTSD and depression are realities that standard treatments often can't fully address.
TMS Therapy for Multiple Conditions
GlobeCoRe's TMS program treats a range of conditions common in veterans, active-duty personnel, and military families — many covered under TRICARE.
Major Depressive
Disorder (MDD)
Persistent sadness, low energy, loss of interest — TMS targets the neural circuits that antidepressants can't reach.
TRICARE COVEREDPTSD &
Trauma
Flashbacks, hypervigilance, and emotional dysregulation respond to TMS's ability to recalibrate overactivated stress circuits.
PROMISING EVIDENCEOCD (Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder)
FDA-cleared deep TMS (dTMS) for OCD offers relief from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors without medication.
FDA CLEAREDAnxiety &
Co-occurring Disorders
Generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and depression-anxiety comorbidities treated with individualized TMS protocols.
ADJUNCT THERAPYHow TMS Therapy Works
It's not you — it's the brain. Depression often stems from underactive neural circuits. TMS uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to restore healthy brain activity — no drugs, no surgery, no downtime.
Magnetic Pulse Generation
A specialized coil placed near the scalp generates focused magnetic pulses — similar in strength to an MRI — targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
Neural Stimulation
The magnetic pulses painlessly stimulate underactive neurons in brain regions responsible for mood regulation, working memory, and emotional processing.
Neuroplasticity Changes
Over multiple sessions, the brain develops new, healthier neural pathways — rewiring circuits that medication alone couldn't reach. This is lasting, structural change.
Lasting Improvement
Most patients experience sustained relief even after treatment ends. Results continue to build as the brain maintains its new, healthier patterns of activity.

Frequently Asked Questions
TMS uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas responsible for mood regulation. A coil placed against your scalp delivers painless pulses. Over 36 sessions, neural pathways reactivate, leading to significant improvement in depression symptoms.
Yes! TRICARE covers TMS for patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression who meet eligibility criteria. Our team handles the entire authorization process. Most patients have their treatment fully covered.
TMS is very safe. The most common side effect is mild scalp tingling during sessions, which typically subsides after the first week. Unlike medications, TMS causes no weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, or fatigue. You can drive home and resume normal activities immediately.
Each session is 18–20 minutes. The full course is 36 sessions over 6–9 weeks (5 per week). Many patients relax or listen to music during treatment. No recovery time needed.

Yes. Growing clinical evidence supports TMS as an adjunct treatment for PTSD, particularly in veterans. While TMS is FDA-cleared primarily for Major Depressive Disorder and OCD, many patients with PTSD and co-occurring depression see significant improvement. Our psychiatric team will assess whether TMS is appropriate for your specific situation.
TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Select, TRICARE Reserve Select, and TRICARE Young Adult all cover TMS therapy for eligible patients with treatment-resistant depression. The key requirements are a severe MDD diagnosis, two or more failed antidepressant trials, and a prior psychotherapy trial. Our team handles all authorization paperwork regardless of which TRICARE plan you have.
TMS is specifically for patients where antidepressants haven't worked. Unlike medications, TMS causes no systemic side effects — no weight gain, no sexual dysfunction, no nausea, no cognitive fog. It directly targets the brain's mood-regulation circuit rather than altering whole-body chemistry. Most TMS patients continue seeing their prescribing physician during and after treatment.
TRICARE Prime requires a referral from your Primary Care Manager (PCM). TRICARE Select patients can self-refer to an in-network specialist. Start by calling us at (770) 284-1044 — we'll quickly determine your TRICARE plan type and guide you through the exact steps needed to get your authorization processed as fast as possible.
