Treatment options available at the TheraMind Center of Los Angeles include traditional psychiatric services, medication management, biofeedback, focused deep-brain ultrasound (FDB-U)(in clinical trial only), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which uses rapid magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the area of the brain known to control mood.
