TMS is a non-invasive procedure that works by stimulating the brain and helping it to work the way it should. A range of conditions can be treated with TMS.
Major Depressive Disorder
Treatment-resistant depression is hard to treat as it does not respond to medicine. In such cases, TMS can help with treatment when other methods like psychotherapy have failed. TMS targets the section of the brain that is responsible for regulating mood and depression symptoms.
OCD Or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
OCD is a very common issue and many people are aware of it. As TMS succeeded in alleviating symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, it got approved by the FDA for treating OCD. If people with OCD, do not get the desired results from other usual treatment procedures, TMS therapy centers like Wellness TMS can step up to the occasion. While TMS activates the brain to reduce symptoms of depression, it reduces brain activity that is responsible for compulsive thoughts and behaviors.
