Family Care Center Expands TMS Access to Teens Ages 15 and Older
DENVER, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Depression affects nearly 4.8 million teens each year, impacting school, relationships, and emotional development. Nearly half of them do not find sufficient relief from standard treatments such as medication or therapy. Now, there is a new option available for teens who suffer from treatment-resistant depression. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for patients 15 and older. Not only is it a promising treatment for teens suffering from treatment-resistant depression—it's also backed by results. According to FDA data, 78% of teens who undergo TMS report significant improvements in their depression symptoms. How TMS works First approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008 for adults, TMS delivers targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation, primarily the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Over time, this innovative therapy helps restore balance, reduce symptoms of depression, and improve overall mental health. Treatment begins with an evaluation and personalized "TMS mapping," where a TMS clinician identifies the optimal location and stimulation level for the patient's treatment. During sessions, the patient is seated comfortably while electromagnetic coils are placed on the scalp. The coils deliver magnetic pulses that aim to "reset" brain activity disrupted by depression. A typical treatment course consists of 30 sessions over six weeks, each lasting 20 to 40 minutes. Patients remain awake and alert during treatment and can engage in quiet activities such as reading or using their phones. Benefits of TMS for teens TMS is non-invasive and does not require surgery or systemic medication, making it less intimidating for adolescents. Side effects are generally mild and brief, rarely disrupting daily life. Treatment sessions can be scheduled around school and activities, allowing teens to maintain their routines. Clinically, TMS has demonstrated lasting benefits, improving emotional regulation, impulse control, decision-making, and overall well-being. Additionally, since anxiety often co-occurs with depression in teens, TMS's targeted approach can address multiple symptoms simultaneously, improving quality of life. While TMS has shown great promise, it is most effective when used alongside other treatments, including talk therapy and appropriate use of medication. Among Family Care Center patients receiving a combination of therapy, medication, and TMS, 91% saw a significant reduction in depressive symptoms within six months. This underscores the value of combining TMS with other treatments to address the complex nature of adolescent depression. "At Family Care Center, we've seen firsthand how TMS changes lives," said Dr. Charles Weber, Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Family Care Center. "Our evidence-based protocols—backed by strong clinical data—have helped more than 90% of patients experience meaningful improvement. We're proud to bring this life-changing care to teens and their families navigating one of the most difficult times in their lives." As one of the nation's leading providers of outpatient mental health services, Family Care Center offers TMS for teens in over 40 clinics in five states.

Family Care Center's Tucson clinic expands mental health services access

This marks the company's third clinic launch in the state since the previous fall, with a fourth slated to launch in June.

COVID 5 Years Later: Impact on Education
Reading, 'riting and...... remote learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an immediate and permanent impact on our education system. Sudden lockdowns across America in 2020 accelerated the adoption of virtual classrooms. Schools that had previously experimented with the technology were suddenly required to fully embrace online learning - ready or not. As Donna Fortune, an associate professor at the Virginia Tech School of Education, explains, "We quickly realized how much digital infrastructure was lacking. Many rural areas simply didn't have the technological resources." By Fall 2021, nearly all schools across the country were back to offering in-person learning. Teachers had to adapt to hybrid classrooms, learning loss, and new tech. "After the pandemic, a lot of the textbooks... created a lot of digital learning platforms for the students to use for, like math and reading and science." Fortune adds, "The days are long gone of standing up in front of a class for an hour and pouring knowledge into their head." The new educational landscape illuminating industry issues, including teacher burn out and staffing shortages, disparities in access to technology, and reliable internet - particularly in low-income areas. One of the biggest challenges has been learning loss, specifically in reading and math. As Fortune notes, "We might have lost some ground educationally, but it's going to look different for everybody, right? Some students are going to have felt more loss than others. And but that's what teachers are good at, helping us understand how to meet the needs of all of those students. " In the classroom, educators were often battling a second epidemic. A recent Brookings survey revealing nearly 40% of teachers report more students are struggling with stress, depression, and anxiety compared to before the pandemic. This mental health crisis is largely fueled by isolation, uncertainty, and changes in routine. Psychiatrist and COO of Family Care Center, Dr. Chris Ivany, points out, "Just last year, the American Surgeon General stated that there was an epidemic. There's a crisis within child and adolescent mental health... and it was a call of back call to action for many people to make access to care, high quality care to or for kids and adolescents in, in ways that we had never done before." As a result, schools are prioritizing students' mental health, many focusing on social emotional learning. With help, Dr. Ivany believes these struggles can be overcome, "When we do deliver care and support for for those kids, the large majority of them get through those conditions successfully and in many cases grow from those experiences."
