TMS for Depression
Depression is hard, and for many people, medication is not enough. In fact, research shows that with each new medication you take, your chance of relief from depression symptoms decreases. TMS provides a drug-free alternative that directly targets the areas of the brain that contribute to depression.
TMS is especially beneficial for individuals who:
- Have not responded to antidepressants
- Experience unwanted medication side effects
- Prefer a non-invasive treatment option
By stimulating the brain’s mood-regulating networks, TMS helps to restore healthier activity patterns with 0 common systemic side effects.
TMS for OCD
For individuals living with OCD, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can significantly impact daily life. TMS is a safe treatment for OCD and targets the area of the brain responsible for obsessive compulsive thinking and behaviors.
TMS is especially beneficial for individuals who:
- Have not found sufficient relief from medication or therapy
- Experience side effects from OCD medications
- Want control over their thoughts and behaviors
By calming hyperactive pathways linked to OCD in the brain, TMS can reduce symptom severity and help patients regain control of their thoughts and behaviors.
