These benefits are just a few reasons why NeuroStar TMS therapy in Columbia, Towson, and Silver Spring is a popular treatment for these conditions.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is ideal for individuals who have struggled with other treatments, such as medication or psychotherapy, for depression, anxious depression, and OCD. NeuroStar can offer hope to patients who have struggled with medication or therapy, switched between medications unsuccessfully, or have experienced challenges with managing their medication side effects. If you have major depressive disorder (MDD) with or without anxious depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder, NeuroStar may be right for you.
Clinical depression, more formally known as major depressive disorder, is one of the most common mental health issues, affecting up to 17% of patients worldwide. Professional diagnosis of MDD typically involves experiencing a persistent depressed mood or reduced interest, in addition to at least four of the following symptoms:
In brain imaging studies, MDD has been shown to be linked to abnormalities in brain function and structure. These abnormalities tend to affect the regions of the brain that control and regulate mood, emotion, and behavior, such as the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can significantly disrupt your daily life and ability to function. As with other mental health disorders, brain imaging studies have revealed structural and functional differences in the brains of individuals with OCD, particularly in regions that regulate emotion and behavior. These differences can contribute to the development of the obsessions and compulsions that define the disorder.
Patients diagnosed with MDD accompanied by anxious depression experience both depression and anxiety at the same time. They display common symptoms of depression alongside anxiety symptoms such as tension, restlessness, uncontrollable fear, and difficulty concentrating due to excessive worry. As a result of having both conditions, these patients often face a poorer prognosis and a lower quality of life compared to those with only depression or anxiety.
If you or someone you know experiences any of these mental health conditions, NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy may be an ideal treatment option. At the hands of our specialists at Synergy Strive, NeuroStar can give you a new lease on life.
