Aging Well with André: Alternative Treatment for Mental Health Concerns

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, an alternative treatment for depression and anxiety, gained FDA approval in 2008. NeuroJust, led by CEO Jourdan Generes, offers this treatment for individuals seeking non-medication options for mental health conditions.

TMS therapy, discovered in 1985 using earlier physics principles, presents a non-pharmaceutical approach.
