For many patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), medication and therapy are simply not enough. If you can relate, then you may be considering alternative therapies. At our clinic, we offer NeuroStar, the #1 physician-recommended transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy—and this treatment may be the solution for you.
NeuroStar TMS may be an ideal mental health treatment for patients with MDD and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) due to its non-medication approach and non-invasive nature. NeuroStar TMS comes with a host of benefits for our patients, which we cover in-depth in this article. If you are wondering if TMS is right for you, keep reading—and if you still need answers, schedule a consultation with one of the specialists at Beautiful Minds Medical today.
NeuroStar TMS is a non-surgical, non-medication, and non-invasive treatment for mental health conditions such as MDD, OCD, and anxious depression. This therapy uses electromagnetic waves to stimulate and enhance your brain activity.
Unlike medication, TMS has no systemic side effects of medications and does not require any sort of surgery or anesthesia, making it an appealing option for many patients. By activating areas of the brain that regulate your mood and behavior, TMS helps alleviate your symptoms of depression and other mental health conditions that are linked to reduced brain activity, improving your overall quality of life. If you have had limited success with other treatments, TMS could be right for you.
NeuroStar TMS may be a good option if you are an adult or adolescent (15+ and only with MDD), have tried multiple medications without success, or are seeking a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for MDD or OCD. To explore TMS therapy and discover if you are right for this treatment, start by scheduling a consultation at our clinic. During your visit, our team will assess your mental health condition, medical history, and treatment goals to determine if NeuroStar TMS is suitable.
At Beautiful Minds Medical, we take a comprehensive, wholistic approach to mental health treatment. We combine advanced treatments like TMS therapy with personalized care to address the root causes of conditions such as MDD and OCD. We focus on the whole person—considering not just symptoms but also your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Through individualized treatment plans and ongoing support, we aim to empower our patients to achieve lasting improvements in their quality of life.
TMS therapy has helped many patients find relief from MDD and OCD symptoms, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Some patients are ineligible for this treatment, including those with certain implants and neurological conditions. If you have conductive metal or stimulator implants, such as cochlear, deep brain, or vagus nerve stimulators, you may not be a candidate. TMS is also not recommended for pregnant women or those with severe neurological conditions such as head injuries or epilepsy.
However, these guidelines are not a substitute for medical advice. For personalized care and guidance, please consult with one of the highly-qualified clinical specialists at Beautiful Minds Medical to determine the best treatment for your needs.
