Treatment Overview

Breaking Free from the Cycle of Depression

For millions of Americans, traditional oral antidepressants simply aren't enough. Often, medication comes with unbearable side effects like weight gain, severe fatigue, or emotional blunting, while only providing partial relief from depressive symptoms.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy changes the paradigm. Instead of introducing systemic chemicals into the body, TMS uses highly targeted, MRI-strength magnetic pulses to awaken the specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation—most notably, the prefrontal cortex.

Dr. Ritesh Amin specializes in utilizing advanced TMS technology to help patients in Edison, NJ, and surrounding areas achieve deep, lasting remission from Treatment-Resistant Depression. This outpatient procedure requires no anesthesia, has zero recovery time, and allows you to drive yourself home immediately afterward.

I've been dealing with depression and PTSD for years and Dr. Amin's TMS Therapy has honestly saved my life. I'm someone who does not respond well to depression medication, so TMS was a godsend for me. I went from crying for no reason almost every day to feeling more stable and even optimistic. Dr. Amin is really invested in my mental health and Charlie, the TMS technician, is very helpful in making the treatments go by quickly and swiftly. I don't even want to imagine what my life would have been like without these treatments these past few years.

Dr Amin helped me a lot with my persistent depression, anxiety and attention deficit issues. He is excellent at establishing a good relationship with the patient and helped understand more about these conditions and what he was looking to achieve through the treatment. Would highly recommend him.

Amazing experience with Dr. Amin. He helped me get out of my anxiety in just 2 months. He is very responsive, follows up personally, and is always available when you need to talk. Highly recommended! I had a wonderful experience with Nurse Melissa. She genuinely cares about her patients, and it shows in how she handles them. Thank You Dr Amin.

I've been experiencing night terrors for a few years. I called Dr Amin immediately and he called me back right away. He told me he could help me. He came up with a medical plan with his diagnosis and that's what we're doing now. Dr. Amin is not aggressive and started very cautious with treatment because of my family history. Dr. Amin calls me to follow up on how I'm feeling. I highly recommend his practice. They answer in a timely manner. Everyone is very nice.

Dr. Amin saved me from my horrible OCD. Thank god for him. I originally went to him for a second opinion. I decided to take a leap of faith and start TMS after I had a bad OCD episode. It was rough in the beginning when I first started TMS but I persevered my way through and I'm so glad I did. I'm just about half way through and I see so many benefits already. I have my life back. I feel such relief — I can rationalize my thoughts and emotions so much better now. Overall I'm a better person. Thank you x1000 Dr. Amin!!!

★★★★★

Before becoming a patient of Dr. Amin, I was experiencing persistent cognitive fog, chronic depression, and generalized anxiety that significantly impacted my ability to function day to day. Since implementing Dr. Amin's comprehensive recommendations, my cognitive clarity has returned, my mood has stabilized, and I now have the energy and confidence to manage daily tasks and engage in social environments without fear. Dr. Amin's thoughtful and integrative approach to treatment has been transformative. His attention to detail and commitment to addressing root causes — rather than just symptoms — has helped me reclaim both my functionality and quality of life. I am truly grateful for the care I've received.

I have been a patient with NJ Healthy Minds for the past couple of years, and choosing them has been one of the best decisions I've made for myself. Everyone I've encountered has been kind, compassionate, supportive, and consistent. The passion and care they show truly reflect their purpose and the positive impact they make in people's lives every day. I am not the same person I was when I first came to them. Their support has made a tremendous difference in my life, and for that I am deeply grateful. Dr Amin & staff, you rock.

Dr Amin is a very caring doctor. He helped me regain my peace via TMS therapy. He took whatever time was required to explain in detail what to expect. Unlike most in his field, he returns calls with urgency. I love having him as my doctor.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about this treatment.

How long does each TMS session take?

Each session typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the specific protocol prescribed by Dr. Amin. You can read, listen to music, or simply relax during treatment.

Does TMS therapy hurt?

TMS is generally very well tolerated. You will feel a tapping sensation on your scalp where the magnetic coil rests. It is non-invasive, does not require anesthesia, and most patients find it comfortable.

Can I drive myself to and from my TMS appointments?

Yes! Because TMS does not involve sedation, anesthesia, or systemic medication, you are fully alert and can safely drive yourself to and from your appointments with zero downtime.

How soon will I see results from TMS?

While every patient is unique, some begin to notice subtle improvements in their mood, energy levels, or sleep patterns within the first one to two weeks of starting their daily treatments.

Does TMS cause weight gain or sexual dysfunction?

No. Because TMS is non-systemic (it only affects the targeted area of the brain), it completely avoids the common systemic side effects of SSRIs, including weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and insomnia.

What is the success rate of TMS for Major Depression?

Clinical studies and real-world data show that approximately 70% of patients experience significant improvement in their depressive symptoms, and many achieve full remission.
