Life-Changing Behavioral Health Treatments
Behavioral-health treatments have the power to change your life, ease your mind, and help you smile again. But sometimes therapy and medications aren’t enough. When that happens, don’t despair. Trust us to help you find other options. One of these possibilities is a painless treatment called brain stimulation therapy.
At AdventHealth's network of hospitals and facilities, we strive to give you answers when you have questions, and solutions when you have problems. Using carefully calibrated and innovative procedures like brain stimulation therapy, we can help treat behavioral-health issues in better, more effective ways, so you can look forward to a healthier, happier, more confident future.
Working to Ease Your Mind
- Safe, Painless, and Effective Brain Stimulation Therapy

If behavioral-health treatment methods like psychotherapy or medication aren't giving you the relief you want, there's still hope. You have more options. Behavioral issues can stem from a chemical imbalance in the brain. That’s where brain stimulation therapy can really help. Using various therapies, our specialized psychiatrists can help you find balance and significantly lift your mood.
You may benefit from brain stimulation therapies including:
- Electroconvulsive Therapy. While you’re under anesthesia, a physician will send painless electric pulses to your brain that can help you to start feeling better in as little as six sessions.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. During a 30- to 60-minute session, an electromagnetic coil sends magnetic pulses through your skull to stimulate parts of the brain that control your mood.
We know electric pulses and magnetic rays sound concerning, but rest easy: these procedures are safe and painless. And to make sure you’re on the best path to wellness, we’ll often combine this treatment with medications and therapy.
- Who's Eligible for Brain Stimulation Therapy

The results speak for themselves. After just a few weeks with brain stimulation therapy, many of the people in our care see their symptoms improve and even disappear. So strive for hope, happiness, and wellness — and trust that we’ll be by your side, helping you reach those goals.
While safe and effective, brain stimulation therapies aren’t for everyone. They treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and severe depression and are reserved for those who aren’t healing through psychotherapy and medications. We’ll work with you individually to determine if this treatment option is right for you.
