Aftercare & Continuous Care
A large majority of our patients here at Smart TMS achieve remission by the end of their prescribed treatment, meaning they’re no longer clinically classed as suffering from their mental health condition, but life can have its ups and downs.
The team at Smart TMS has worked to develop aftercare programs to suit everyone.
