Mental health continues to be one of the most pressing healthcare priorities in the Philippines. With rising cases of depression and related conditions, hospitals and clinicians are looking for innovative technologies to complement existing approaches such as psychotherapy and medication.

One such advancement is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

What is TMS?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technology that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. Patients remain awake during the procedure, and no surgery or anesthesia is required.

Globally, TMS has been recognized as an emerging option in the field of mental health, particularly in the management of mood-related conditions.

Why TMS Matters for the Philippines

The Philippine government, through the Regional Specialty Centers (RSC) Act (RA 11959), is strengthening mental health services across the country. This program aims to make specialized care more accessible, modernized, and comprehensive.

Within this framework, TMS has the potential to contribute to:
• Providing a non-invasive option for mental health care
• Supporting clinicians in addressing complex cases
• Aligning with international practices in mental health innovation
