Exomind uses FDA-cleared transcranial magnetic stimulation to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and cognitive decline without medications, surgery, or downtime. The Lamkin Clinic is Oklahoma's first academic center to offer this technology, bringing a new standard of brain health care to the Sooner State.
Unlike medications that mask symptoms by altering neurochemistry systemically, Exomind addresses the underlying neural dysfunction by targeting specific brain regions with precisely calibrated electromagnetic pulses. The result is lasting change through neuroplasticity, not temporary symptom suppression. Learn more about Exomind at The Lamkin Clinic

Conditions Treated with Exomind
Major Depressive Disorder
FDA-cleared for treating MDD, particularly in patients who have not responded to antidepressant medications. Targets the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to restore normal neural function and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Approximately one-third of depression patients do not respond well to medications. Exomind offers a proven alternative with 70% response rates and 50% remission rates, often better outcomes than additional medication trials.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
By modulating neural circuits involved in anxiety regulation, Exomind helps calm the overactive fear response while improving emotional regulation and stress resilience.
PTSD
Helps regulate the hyperactive amygdala and restores balance to fear-processing circuits. Patients often experience reduced flashbacks, nightmares, hypervigilance, and emotional numbness.
OCD
Targets neural circuits connecting the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia, regions implicated in OCD pathology. Many patients experience significant reduction in obsessive thoughts and compulsive rituals.
Cognitive Decline and Brain Fog
Enhances cognitive performance in healthy individuals and those experiencing age-related decline. Patients report improvements in memory, focus, mental clarity, and processing speed.
Chronic Pain Syndromes
By modulating pain-processing circuits in the brain, Exomind can reduce pain perception in conditions including fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraine headaches without opioids or other pain medications.
Addiction Recovery Support
Assists in addiction recovery by reducing cravings, improving impulse control, and treating the depression and anxiety that often accompany substance use disorders. Helps restore healthy function to the prefrontal cortex.
How Exomind Works
Exomind uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to deliver precisely calibrated electromagnetic pulses to targeted brain regions. The pulses pass painlessly through the skull and induce small electrical currents in targeted brain tissue, stimulating neurons to fire and exercising dormant neural pathways or calming overactive ones.
Repeated stimulation over multiple sessions triggers neuroplastic changes, the brain's ability to form new neural connections and strengthen healthy pathways. This is why Exomind produces lasting effects rather than temporary symptom relief. You are literally retraining your brain to function more optimally. Unlike medications that affect your entire body, Exomind targets specific brain regions implicated in your condition, minimizing side effects while maximizing therapeutic benefit.

Why Exomind vs. Traditional Treatments
vs. Antidepressants
Medications often cause weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional blunting, and cognitive impairment. Exomind produces its effects locally in the brain with no systemic side effects, while often improving rather than impairing cognitive function.
vs. ECT
Electroconvulsive therapy requires general anesthesia and can cause memory problems. Exomind is completely non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and does not cause memory impairment. Most patients prefer Exomind when both options are available.
vs. Ketamine Therapy
Ketamine infusions offer rapid but temporary relief and may cause dissociative experiences. Exomind produces lasting results through neuroplastic changes rather than temporary neurochemical effects, with no altered consciousness during treatment.
vs. Vagus Nerve Stimulation
VNS requires surgical implantation of a device with wires running to the vagus nerve, with surgical risks and recovery time. Exomind is completely non-invasive, requires no surgery, and can be discontinued easily if desired.
Who Benefits Most from Exomind
- Tried two or more antidepressants without adequate relief
- Experience intolerable side effects from psychiatric medications
- Want to avoid or reduce medication dependency
- Struggle with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety
- Experience cognitive decline, brain fog, or memory problems
- Live with PTSD, OCD, or chronic pain conditions
- Seek peak cognitive performance and mental clarity
- Pregnant or breastfeeding and need medication-free treatment
- Have medical conditions that contraindicate psychiatric drugs
- Want lasting results rather than ongoing symptom management
What to Expect
Standard Exomind treatment typically involves daily sessions for 4 to 6 weeks, each lasting approximately 20 to 40 minutes. During each session, you sit comfortably in a specialized chair while the Exomind device is positioned near your head. The device delivers electromagnetic pulses that create a tapping or clicking sensation on your scalp. You remain awake and alert throughout. Many patients read, listen to music, or simply relax. There is no anesthesia, no sedation, and no recovery period. You can drive to your appointment and immediately return to work or any other activity after each session.
Some patients notice improvements within the first week, but most experience progressive benefit over the full treatment course. Significant improvement typically appears by week 4, with optimal results by the end of the 6-week protocol. Cognitive enhancement effects often appear earlier, sometimes within days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Exomind FDA-cleared?
Yes. Exomind uses TMS technology that is FDA-cleared for treating major depressive disorder, particularly in patients who have not responded adequately to antidepressant medications. The technology has been extensively studied with a well-established safety and efficacy profile.
Does Exomind hurt?
Exomind is not painful. During treatment, you will feel a tapping or clicking sensation on your scalp. Some patients experience mild scalp discomfort during the first few sessions, which typically diminishes quickly. Most patients find the treatment very tolerable.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort or headache during or immediately after treatment, which typically resolves quickly. Unlike medications, Exomind does not cause weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, or cognitive impairment. The primary serious concern is seizure risk, which occurs in less than 0.1% of patients and is screened for during evaluation.
How long do results last?
Many patients maintain significant improvement for 6 to 12 months or longer. Some patients remain symptom-free indefinitely, while others benefit from periodic maintenance sessions. The neuroplastic changes induced by Exomind can be lasting, unlike medications that only work while you are taking them.
Can I continue my antidepressant medications during Exomind treatment?
Yes. Most patients continue their current medications during Exomind therapy. Combining Exomind with medications may enhance outcomes. After successful treatment, some patients work with their prescribing physician to reduce or discontinue medications, though this should always be done under medical supervision.
Will insurance cover Exomind treatment?
Many insurance plans including Medicare cover TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression when medical necessity criteria are met. The Lamkin Clinic operates on a cash-based model, but we can provide documentation for insurance reimbursement if your plan offers out-of-network benefits. Coverage varies by plan and we will help you understand your options during consultation.
