Have you struggled with focus, organization, and task completion for years, but worry about the side effects and long-term consequences of stimulant medications? If attention deficit disorder has undermined your potential at work, school, and home, there is a powerful, non-drug solution that directly strengthens the underactive brain circuits responsible for your symptoms.
The ADD Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything
Maybe you’ve been on stimulant medications like Adderall, Ritalin, or Vyvanse. They offer temporary relief, but you’ve noticed side effects: appetite suppression, sleep problems, irritability, anxiety, a faster heart rate. You worry about becoming dependent.
Perhaps the medication isn’t working as well anymore. You need higher doses to get the same focus. Or maybe you’ve avoided stimulants because of addiction concerns, heart issues, or simply not wanting to rely on a pill to function.
You’ve tried different strategies, coaching, organizational systems. Nothing seems to fix the core problem. Here’s why: ADD isn’t just about willpower, motivation, or a simple chemical imbalance. Stimulants don’t permanently fix the underlying neurological issues.
At its heart, ADD involves underactive, underconnected brain circuits. Specifically, reduced activity and weaker connections in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). These brain areas control executive functions like sustained attention, working memory, starting tasks, staying organized, and controlling impulses.
These regions also have reduced dopamine and norepinephrine signaling. This creates inattention, distractibility, trouble with executive functions, and difficulties with time management – the everyday challenges you experience. Stimulant medication temporarily boosts neurotransmitter levels, but it doesn’t repair the fundamental electrical problems in your brain’s attention and executive function networks.
What is TMS Therapy for ADD?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, evidence-based brain stimulation technology that uses precisely targeted magnetic pulses to strengthen and rebalance the neural circuits responsible for attention, focus, executive function, and impulse control.
While TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, its use for ADD/ADHD represents a promising frontier in neuropsychiatry, supported by compelling emerging research demonstrating significant improvements in core ADHD symptoms. For individuals with ADD, TMS specifically targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)—the exact brain region shown to be underactive and underconnected in attention deficit disorder.
By delivering calibrated magnetic pulses to these underperforming regions, TMS helps increase cortical activation, enhance functional connectivity between key attention networks, strengthen dopamine and norepinephrine regulation, and restore balance between the default mode network (which causes mind-wandering and internal distraction) and the task-positive network (which engages during focused work).
Research demonstrates that TMS improves attention, concentration, impulse control, working memory, organization, task completion, and overall executive functioning in individuals with ADHD. Unlike stimulant medications that only work while the drug is active in your system and stop functioning when it wears off, TMS rebuilds your brain’s functional connectivity, creating lasting improvements that continue for weeks or even months after treatment completion.
Why Our ADD Program is Different
SeeBeyond Medicine focuses on optimizing your brain, not just treating symptoms. Traditional ADHD treatment often relies heavily on stimulant medications each day. These can help manage symptoms, but they don’t really fix what’s happening in your brain. We see that lasting change needs a different approach.
ADHD is more than just a dopamine problem. It’s linked to underactive areas of your brain, affected by imbalances in neurotransmitters. Nutritional gaps, inflammation, sleep problems, and even metabolic issues – things standard ADHD treatment often overlooks, play a role.
That’s why we created our Enhanced TMS Protocol. It’s a thoughtful, functional medicine method. It looks at all aspects of your neurological health to help restore focus and create lasting cognitive improvement.
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes four integrated components:
1. Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)
Before beginning your TMS treatment for ADD, we conduct comprehensive laboratory analysis to measure your baseline levels of key neurotransmitters: including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, GABA, and glutamate that directly influence attention, focus, executive function, and impulse control. This objective data eliminates guesswork and reveals your unique neurochemical profile. After completing treatment, we retest to document the measurable biochemical changes occurring in your brain, providing concrete evidence of your neural transformation.
2. Calm IV Therapy
Throughout your TMS treatment course, you’ll receive specialized intravenous nutrient infusions designed to reduce anxiety, support optimal neurotransmitter synthesis, and enhance brain energy metabolism. Our Calm IV includes therapeutic doses of Magnesium: a critical mineral that improves neuronal signaling and reduces nervous system hyperexcitability, along with B Vitamins that serve as essential cofactors for producing dopamine, norepinephrine, and other neurotransmitters vital to attention and focus. These nutrients create the ideal biochemical environment for your brain to respond to TMS stimulation and rebuild healthy attention networks.
3. Acupuncture Sessions
We integrate acupuncture throughout your treatment plan to enhance TMS outcomes, reduce systemic inflammation (which contributes to cognitive dysfunction), balance the autonomic nervous system, and naturally increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a critical growth protein that promotes neural healing, neuroplasticity, and the formation of new, functional brain circuits. Acupuncture supports the neural remodeling necessary for lasting improvement in attention and executive function.
4. Health Coach Brain Health Sessions
Your comprehensive program includes personalized one-on-one sessions with our dedicated health coach, who will work with you to develop evidence-based strategies for sleep optimization, nutrition, stress management, exercise, time management skills, organizational systems, and targeted supplementation. We address every lifestyle factor that influences your brain’s capacity for sustained attention and executive function, ensuring your TMS results extend far beyond the treatment room and become integrated into your daily life.

Is TMS for ADD Right for You?
TMS therapy for ADD may be an ideal solution if you identify with any of the following:
- You’ve been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) or ADHD-Inattentive Type and experience chronic difficulty with focus, sustained attention, working memory, organization, task completion, and time management
- You struggle with executive dysfunction—difficulty planning, prioritizing, starting tasks, staying on track, managing emotions, and following through on goals
- You’ve been taking stimulant medications like Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse, or Concerta with limited effectiveness, intolerable side effects, or concerns about long-term tolerance and dependency
- You’ve noticed that your ADHD medication seems less effective over time, requiring higher doses to achieve the same level of focus
- You’re seeking a non-medication, non-invasive solution that directly strengthens the brain circuits responsible for attention and executive function rather than relying on daily pharmaceutical intervention
- Your ADD significantly interferes with your work performance, academic achievement, relationships, and quality of life, preventing you from reaching your full potential
- You understand that optimal outcomes require comprehensive, root-cause care—and you’re ready to invest in a program that combines cutting-edge neurotechnology with functional medicine support
TMS for ADD is supported by emerging clinical research demonstrating significant improvements in attention, focus, impulse control, working memory, and prefrontal cortex activation in individuals with ADHD.
