NeuroJust on Summer Stress, Functional Depression, and TMS Therapy

Jordan Generous of NeuroJust says summer is a key time to address mental health before fall schedules return. He encourages early evaluation for anxiety and depression, especially for parents, teachers, and students. The conversation highlights transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. Generous explains that TMS targets brain activity linked to mood regulation and differs from medication-based approaches and electroconvulsive therapy. He also discusses “functional depression,” where people continue daily responsibilities but struggle with anxiety, stress, and fatigue. Many high-functioning individuals overlook symptoms until burnout occurs. Generous says TMS can improve clarity, reduce anxiety, and help patients feel more present in daily life.
