Neuronetics Recognizes Critical Health Professionals During Mental Health Awareness Month
Leading TMS Company honors clinicians on the front lines who remain dedicated to serving the country’s mental health needs, during May and beyond
MALVERN, Pa., May 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIM), a commercial stage medical technology company focused on designing, developing and marketing products that
improve the quality of life for patients who suffer from psychiatric disorders, is celebrating the professionals delivering critical mental healthcare across the country in honor of Mental Health
Awareness Month.
Prioritizing mental health has never been more imperative than it is today. Since Neuronetics received FDA clearance in 2008 for its NeuroStar Advanced Therapy transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system — a proven, non-drug, non-invasive depression option for adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) — the company has delivered more than 2.5 million treatments and has over 1,000 devices installed in doctors’ offices and hospitals in the United States. NeuroStar practices across the country are going above and beyond to ensure their patients’ mental health needs are met. From expanding services to including telemedicine consultations, virtual care and support groups, to instituting new safety and sanitization protocols and remaining open to guarantee those in the midst of treatment can continue sessions — their services are invaluable, particularly during this time when feelings of uncertainty and chaos threaten to severely exacerbate existing mental health conditions for the many Americans already struggling.
