EXOMIND is a non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system made by BTL. It’s FDA-cleared to treat major depressive disorder in adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with antidepressant medication. At AZ Vitality and Wellness in Peoria, sessions take about 20 to 30 minutes while you’re awake, with no sedation and no downtime.

EXOMIND is added to your care, not a replacement for it, and many people keep their current medication and therapy during a series. It’s part of our mental wellness care, where we also look for physical causes of low mood, like thyroid problems, low vitamin D or B12, and hormone changes.

We’re not a psychiatry practice or a crisis service, and we’ll tell you when a therapist or psychiatrist is the better next step. If you’d like to talk first, call or text us at 602-540-3547.

In crisis or thinking about suicide? Call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time. In an emergency, call 911.

How it works

What Is EXOMIND, and How Does It Work?

EXOMIND is a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system made by BTL. A coil placed against your head sends magnetic pulses to an area of the brain involved in mood. It’s non-invasive: no needles, no anesthesia, and no medication.

TMS is the treatment, and EXOMIND is BTL’s system for delivering it. BTL also makes EMSCULPT NEO and EMSELLA, which we offer here too.

TMS isn’t shock therapy (ECT): there’s no anesthesia and no seizure, you’re awake the whole time, and you can drive yourself home.

FDA clearance

What EXOMIND Is FDA-Cleared to Treat

EXOMIND is FDA-cleared to treat major depressive disorder in adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with antidepressant medication in their current episode.

Some people ask about EXOMIND for focus or stress without a depression diagnosis. That isn’t what it’s FDA-cleared for, and research on TMS as a general wellness treatment is limited, so we’ll talk through honestly whether it makes sense for you.

EXOMIND is FDA-cleared for:

  • Major depressive disorder in adults whose symptoms haven’t improved enough with antidepressant medication in their current episode

It’s added to your care, not a replacement for it.

It isn’t FDA-cleared for:

  • Focus, memory, or brain fog
  • Stress or burnout
  • Sleep
  • Anxiety on its own, without depression
  • General wellness

You may see other clinics promote it for these. We won’t.

Who it’s for

Is EXOMIND Right for You?

EXOMIND may be a fit if you:

  • Are an adult diagnosed with major depressive disorder
  • Haven’t gotten enough relief from antidepressant medication
  • Want a non-drug option to add to your current care
  • Can come in for a series of in-office sessions

EXOMIND isn’t the right fit if you:

  • Are having thoughts of suicide right now (call or text 988, or call 911)
  • Have metal or electronic implants in or near your head, like a cochlear implant, aneurysm clips, or a brain stimulator
  • Have a history of seizures or epilepsy
  • Have bipolar disorder or psychosis and aren’t under a psychiatrist’s care

We review your full history before your first session.

Your safety

Is EXOMIND Safe? Side Effects and When to See a Specialist

TMS is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are scalp discomfort, tingling, or a mild headache during or after sessions. Seizures are rare. It isn’t for people with metal or electronic implants in or near the head, and we review your history before your first session.

We focus on the physical side of mental wellness and offer EXOMIND for depression. We don’t provide talk therapy or crisis care, and some conditions are best managed by a psychiatrist. Knowing the difference gets you to the right help faster.

Get help now if you:

  • Are thinking about suicide or harming yourself
  • Feel unsafe, or can’t take care of yourself
  • Are hearing or seeing things others don’t

Call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) any time, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

A therapist or psychiatrist may be the better first step if you:

  • Have symptoms that started after a trauma
  • Have bipolar disorder, psychosis, or an eating disorder
  • Have tried several medications and want a psychiatrist’s plan
  • Want ongoing talk therapy

We’re glad to work alongside your therapist or psychiatrist and to share results with them when you ask.

Questions to ask any clinic offering TMS

  1. Is the device FDA-cleared for my condition?
  2. Who reviews my history and oversees my treatment?
  3. How many sessions will I need, and what’s the total cost?
  4. How will we measure whether it’s working?

Ask us any of these. We’re glad to answer.

Cost

How Much Does EXOMIND Cost?

EXOMIND consultations are free. If a series is right for you, you’ll get the number of sessions and your exact price before you commit. Cherry payment plans are available for eligible patients.

We don’t bill insurance for EXOMIND or any of our services, but you can use your HSA or FSA card. Traditional TMS at a psychiatry practice is often covered when certain criteria are met, so if insurance coverage matters most, that may be the better route for you.
