“My brother has had depression for over 4 years without any results. At BetterPlace I found out about rTMS which can help if other treatments don’t work and that has been like a miracle. Obviously i was scared initially because there was a machine but it literally was so gentle and relaxing. Dr Akul has made my brother feel like himself again and he’s finally active and lively nowadays.”

What is rTMS?
rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is an advanced brain stimulation treatment that uses magnetic waves to improve mood when traditional treatments like medication or therapy haven’t helped enough.
Does it Actually Work?
Yes! rTMS has been shown to be 3.3 times more effective than traditional treatments for depression and other mental health conditions.
Is it Safe?
rTMS is FDA approved and absolutely safe. It is used in leading institutions like AIIMS and CIMBS, and it’s completely pain-free and side-effect-free.
How is it administered?
During an rTMS session, you’ll sit comfortably while a small magnetic coil sends gentle pulses to parts of your brain that regulate mood. Watch the video above to see how it works in action.

Transformation Stories at BetterPlace!
“I started smoking at 16, each cigarette felt like a warm hug, sharpening my focus. When I learned I was at risk of cancer, I tried everything to quit, but nothing worked. Then I found BetterPlace’s smoking cessation programme, which included rTMS therapy. It significantly reduced my cravings. I’ve gone from three packs a day to just one. There’s still a long way to go, but progress is progress!”
“I’d tried almost every clinic in Delhi but no one seemed able to cure my depression. Then Better Place happened and my life truly changed for the better. And it all started when Dr Akul recommended I try rTMS, this really fancy technology that not many clinics have but Better Place worked wonders for me and i feel so much better. The doctors were very gentle also.”
Frequently Asked Questions
When you visit BetterPlace for the first time, you will speak to our in-house clinical psychologists and psychiatrists, who will take a detailed case history and understand your chief complaints. The psychologist will then discuss your case with our psychiatrist, who will share a diagnosis and recommend the appropriate assessments and treatment plans.
Our preferred approach is for you to meet both because each treatment plan is a combination of psychotherapy and psychiatric services. Our goal is to have you recover faster, and stay well. However, you can meet just one of them too, if you wish to do so.
rTMS is most commonly used for treatment-resistant depression, but it’s also effective for anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, and chronic pain. We’ll assess your specific needs to see if rTMS is a suitable option for you.
Yes, rTMS is considered very safe. It’s approved by regulatory bodies like the FDA and NICE. Side effects are usually mild, such as slight scalp discomfort or a temporary headache after treatment.
rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) is generally safe, but it can cause mild, temporary side effects. The most common issues are mild scalp discomfort, tingling, or localised pain at the stimulation site during the session. Some people also experience brief, mild tension headaches or lightheadedness immediately after treatment. In extremely rare cases (roughly 1 in 10,000), it can cause seizures.
A typical rTMS session lasts about 20 to 40 minutes, depending on your individual treatment plan. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your day straight after.
You might feel a tapping or tingling sensation on your scalp during the session, but it’s generally well tolerated. We’ll check in with you regularly to ensure your comfort.
rTMS is more effective for people who have not responded well to medication. It works differently from medication and doesn’t have the same systemic side effects.
The BetterPlace clinic is open from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and 9:00 am – 7:00 pm on Tuesday, Friday
