Many Maryland residents find their quality of life declining as they navigate life with a mood disorder. Traditional approaches—often centered on prescription medications—can fail to deliver adequate results. If you are struggling with depression, anxious depression, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but have not had much success with conventional treatments, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be able to help. Learn why NeuroStar TMS is different. It may be the breakthrough you have been looking for.
At Synergy Strive, you can receive this transformative treatment at multiple locations throughout Maryland, including Columbia, Towson, and Silver Spring. Learn how TMS therapy could help you rediscover clarity, calm, and confidence in your everyday life.
NeuroStar TMS is a non-invasive, drug-free, and FDA-cleared procedure that is different from traditional treatments. During TMS procedures, a coil emits magnetic pulses to key regions of your brain involved in mood regulation. The pulses stimulate your neurons in these key areas, leading to an increase in brain activity. This can help stabilize your mood and enable you to break away from negative thoughts related to your depression, anxious depression or OCD.
Because NeuroStar TMS targets precise areas of your brain from the outside without affecting the rest of the body, patients avoid many of the systemic side effects commonly associated with medication. Best of all, NeuroStar TMS therapy requires no anesthesia or recovery time, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately following each treatment session.
Everyone’s journey with mental health is unique, so their treatment plan should be as well. While other treatments are often more static, TMS can adjust to your specific needs and symptoms. By focusing on the right regions of your brain, TMS therapy could deliver optimal results. Moreover, your TMS treatment plan can adapt as you progress through your regimen, depending on how you respond to the therapy.
The patient experience is another reason NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatment at Synergy Strive is different. Unlike traditional treatment options that may involve hospital stays or long recovery periods, TMS therapy is easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
At Synergy Strive, each NeuroStar TMS session is personalized. You will sit in a comfortable chair while the TMS device emits magnetic pulses. You are awake and alert—and you can use the time to listen to music, read, or simply relax. Our clinical team prioritizes your comfort and provides a welcoming environment throughout your seven-week treatment course.
Research consistently shows that NeuroStar TMS therapy can significantly reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression, providing lasting benefits for many patients. Many of our clients start noticing a positive change in their mood and symptoms by the fourth week of treatment, some experiencing improvements even earlier. While remission rates can vary, many patients in our Maryland practice report long-term results, with some remaining symptom-free for a year.
TMS therapy may offer a non-invasive solution if you are suffering from mood disorders, particularly when traditional treatments have not provided the relief you need. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxious depression, or OCD, this innovative therapy can help you take control of your mental health.
