If you have been living with major depressive disorder (MDD) or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you already know how exhausted you can feel each day. It is challenging to keep searching for solutions and relief from your symptoms. You may have tried medications, counseling, or lifestyle changes, yet your symptoms continue to interfere with your daily routine.
At AMS Health & Wellness, we help you understand the conditions treated by NeuroStar TMS therapy in Katy and work with you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. We offer another way forward with NeuroStar TMS, especially when traditional treatments have not provided enough relief.
NeuroStar transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of your brain responsible for mood regulation. The treatment does not use anesthesia, and you can typically return to your normal activities the same day.
Health care professionals use NeuroStar TMS therapy to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also cleared it for other conditions that affect emotional and behavioral health. At AMS Health & Wellness, we carefully evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals to determine whether this therapy may be appropriate for you.
MDD is one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States, which we can treat in patients in Katy using NeuroStar TMS therapy. MDD can affect your mood, energy, concentration, sleep, and relationships. You might experience some relief from medications and talk therapy, or your symptoms might persist despite trying multiple different treatments.
NeuroStar TMS therapy is FDA-cleared for adults with depression who have not responded well to antidepressants. After trying two medications without success, your diagnosis may change to treatment-resistant depression.
NeuroStar TMS stimulates targeted areas of your brain to improve your mood and reduce your symptoms of depression. Most people notice changes in the first four weeks of treatment. You may notice gradual changes in your outlook, motivation, and ability to engage in daily activities. These improvements often develop steadily throughout the treatment process.
Symptoms of OCD include unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can interfere with your daily functioning. You might feel compelled to check, clean, count, or repeat actions in ways you find difficult to control.
The FDA has also cleared NeuroStar TMS therapy for adults living with OCD, and it could be a good treatment option for Katy patients. By targeting areas of the brain associated with compulsive behavior, treatment may help reduce the intensity and frequency of your intrusive thoughts and rituals. This helps create more time and energy for you to focus on work, relationships, and personal goals without the constant disruption caused by your symptoms.
Many people living with depression also experience symptoms of anxiety, such as restlessness, tension, or persistent worry. These combined symptoms can make daily life feel overwhelming.
NeuroStar TMS therapy may help reduce anxiety symptoms for Katy patients with MDD. Improving mood and emotional regulation often leads to better overall functioning and a greater sense of stability.
NeuroStar TMS therapy works best when you actively participate in your treatment and progress. Attending scheduled sessions, maintaining healthy routines, and communicating openly with us all play important roles in your recovery.
At AMS Health & Wellness, we believe in a collaborative approach. We can help, but for the best results, you must attend your sessions regularly and be willing to engage in treatment. Call us today to schedule your consultation and learn more about the conditions treated by NeuroStar TMS therapy in Katy.
