NeuroStar Works by Working Differently

Unlike antidepressant medications, which have to travel through your entire body, NeuroStar targets the source of depression in the brain, where it helps activate the natural function of the brain’s neurotransmitters using a non-invasive magnetic field.⁹ NeuroStar is not ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).

Frequently Asked Questions

How does NeuroStar work?

NeuroStar is a non-drug and non-invasive depression treatment delivered in a doctor’s office. You recline comfortably in a NeuroStar chair (much like a dentist’s chair or spa chair) during treatment. During a treatment session, precisely targeted magnetic pulses stimulate the mood-regulating areas in the brain that are underactive in people who suffer from depression.^12,15 There is no anesthesia or sedation. You are fully awake and alert during treatment, and you can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment session.
