Bipolar disorder causes intense mood swings between depression and mania.

The depressive episodes can be resistant to standard medications.

While not yet FDA-approved for this use, TMS is a potential option for select patients.

TMS is showing promise for bipolar depression - especially when other treatments have failed.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Bipolar disorder causes dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity levels. These cycles can include:


Depressive Episodes


  • Low mood, hopelessness, apathy
  • Oversleeping or overeating
  • Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide


Manic (or Hypomanic) Episodes


  • Euphoria or extreme irritability
  • Rapid speech, impulsive decisions
  • Decreased need for sleep
  • Racing thoughts and risky behavior


There are several forms:



  • Bipolar I – includes full manic episodes
  • Bipolar II – includes hypomania, which is less intense
  • Cyclothymia – mild, fluctuating mood shifts


TMS for Bipolar Depression

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Although not yet FDA-approved for bipolar depression, early studies suggest it can:

Offer hope where other options have failed

In 2020, the FDA granted Breakthrough Device Designation for evaluating TMS in bipolar depression - a sign of growing clinical promise.

Important Considerations

  • TMS for bipolar depression is not FDA-approved at this time (though it has FDA Breakthrough Device Designation).


  • Insurance typically does not cover TMS for bipolar depression, but self-pay options are available.



  • TMS is generally well-tolerated, but close monitoring is essential to watch for any signs of mood elevation or mania.
