If you are experiencing depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms and feel that your treatments are not giving you the relief you need, you are not alone. Often, individuals look for depression or OCD therapy that is more suited to their needs, especially if their current treatments are not showing results. Finding out whether you are a candidate for NeuroStar TMS Therapy in Memorial is an important part of moving forward.
At AMS Health & Wellness, we are committed to listening to your story and finding out what you hope to accomplish. NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a non-invasive procedure designed to help individuals who are experiencing depression and OCD and have not found relief through other treatments. If you are looking for alternative treatments, then this therapy may be the solution you need to help you through this challenging time.
People do not experience major depressive disorder (MDD) or OCD in the same way, and this is why our clinicians individualize treatments. You may be a good candidate for NeuroStar TMS treatment if a Memorial clinician has diagnosed you with MDD or OCD and you have not found relief through medication or traditional therapy.
Individuals seek this kind of therapy because they have taken two or more medications and have found that they do not alleviate the symptoms. If this situation sounds familiar, then a treatment that does not involve medication, such as NeuroStar TMS therapy, may be just the kind of help that you need. TMS sessions are conducted as outpatient treatment, and you can resume your regular activities after each session.
At AMS Health & Wellness, we understand the importance of providing you with compassionate and personalized care. Our team considers several factors to determine whether NeuroStar TMS therapy is right for you in Memorial, including your medical history, current symptoms, and previous treatments.
We assess your mental health and whether you have other conditions that may affect your care and your overall treatment plan. We also evaluate whether this kind of therapy, which stimulates areas of the brain related to mood control, is right for your diagnosis.
NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS) has been an effective treatment method for many eligible patients in Memorial. However, TMS therapy may not be appropriate for some individuals. For instance, if you have certain medical conditions or implants in or near your head, then TMS therapy may not be right for you.
TMS therapy also may not be an appropriate solution for you if you have one or more neurological conditions. We are committed to providing you with different options and helping you find the most effective treatment possible if this is not the right next step for your situation.
The search for the appropriate mental health treatment can be challenging, but you do not have to go through it alone. If you want to find out whether you are a candidate for NeuroStar TMS therapy in Memorial, our team at AMS Health & Wellness is ready to guide you through the process. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the next step on your mental health journey.
