Education before treatment
Not everyone who learns about EXOMIND needs EXOMIND.
Good decisions begin with useful information. Start anywhere, follow the questions that matter to you, and speak with a qualified provider when you are ready.

What is Exomind?
A workout for your mind.
During treatment, magnetic pulses are delivered through an applicator positioned near the scalp. Exomind is designed to stimulate brain areas involved in emotional regulation, cognitive function, and self-control.
Treatment does not require incisions, injections, anesthesia, or medication. You remain awake and comfortable throughout the session.
The science
How ExoTMS™ works.
02
Stimulate
The applicator creates a controlled magnetic field without surgery, implants, or anesthesia.
03
Target
Magnetic pulses induce electrical activity in a targeted region of the cerebral cortex.
04
Support
A recommended series is intended to support activity across networks involved in mood and self-regulation.
This simplified explanation is educational and is not a literal representation of an individual patient’s brain activity.
DLPFC
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
One connected region within broader networks involved in mood and executive function.
The brain and depression
A network, not a switch.
Depression involves distributed brain networks rather than one single area. One region often discussed in TMS care is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, or DLPFC, which participates in mood regulation, attention, planning, and cognitive control.
A provider uses your clinical history and an established treatment protocol to determine whether magnetic stimulation is appropriate. This simplified visual is schematic, not anatomical, and does not represent an individual brain scan.
Candidacy
Who may benefit from an Exomind evaluation?
Exomind may be considered for adults experiencing symptoms of depression who are interested in a noninvasive, drug-free treatment approach.
Request a private evaluationAn evaluation may be relevant if you:
- Experience persistent depressive symptoms
- Have not achieved satisfactory improvement from previous treatment
- Prefer to explore a drug-free treatment option
- Want an office-based treatment with no required downtime
- Can attend a recommended series of treatment sessions
- Are willing to complete an appropriate medical and mental-health evaluation
Exomind is not automatically appropriate for everyone. Eligibility is determined only after an individualized clinical and safety evaluation.
Your evaluation
Your evaluation comes first.
Exomind is a treatment device, not a diagnostic testing device. A thoughtful review helps your provider decide whether it is appropriate for you.
Clinical consultation
- Current symptoms and goals
- Medical and mental-health history
- Medication and supplement review
- Previous treatment history
Safety screening
- Implanted electronic devices
- Metal near the treatment area
- Seizure or neurological history
- Other individual risk factors
Progress review
- Baseline symptom assessment
- Functional and sleep questions
- Check-ins during treatment
- Continued-care conversation
The journey
What to expect.
01
Private consultation
Discuss your history, symptoms, goals, and safety considerations.
02
Personalized plan
Your provider determines candidacy and recommends a schedule.
03
Comfortable sessions
Remain awake and seated while the applicator delivers magnetic pulses.
04
Return to your day

05
Progress review
Your provider reviews your response and appropriate next steps.
Plain talk
What EXOMIND is not.
It is a medical technology worth understanding—not a promise or shortcut.
- A personality-changing machine
- A replacement for every form of therapy
- A guarantee of happiness or a specific result
- A treatment appropriate for everyone
- A reason to stop medication without your prescribing clinician
- A substitute for an appropriate medical evaluation
Physician-led care

Every Exomind patient begins with an individualized evaluation. Dr. Carpenter and the clinical team consider your history, symptoms, previous treatment experience, medications, safety factors, and personal goals before recommending care.
For comparison
Understanding your options.
Treatment choices serve different needs and may be used independently or together. A qualified provider should help determine the appropriate approach.
| Option | Noninvasive | Drug-free | Typical setting | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exomind | Yes | Yes | In office | None required |
| Medication | Yes | No | Taken at home | Varies |
| Psychotherapy | Yes | Yes | Office or telehealth | None |
| Traditional TMS | Yes | Yes | In office | Varies by protocol |
This educational comparison does not state that any option is superior to another.

Exomind® is a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment that is FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression. Treatment suitability must be determined by a qualified healthcare provider. Results vary. Exomind does not replace emergency care, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, or medication management. Do not stop or modify prescribed medication without consulting your prescribing provider. Submitting a consultation request does not establish a physician-patient relationship. If you need urgent help, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Some applications discussed in educational material may be investigational, emerging, or outside the device’s FDA-cleared indication; your provider should identify the indication relevant to your care.
