Drug-Free. FDA-Approved. Effective.
At Williamsville Psychiatry PLLC, we understand the daily struggle of living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). If traditional treatments haven’t worked or side effects have been overwhelming, there is hope. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers a safe, non-invasive, and highly effective option to help you reclaim your life. What is TMS Therapy? TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain known to be underactive in depression and overactive in OCD. It helps regulate brain activity to relieve symptoms — all without medication, anesthesia, or surgery. TMS is:
- FDA-approved for treatment-resistant MDD and OCD
- Non-invasive and pain-free
- Covered by most major insurance plans
- Completed in-office with no downtime
TMS for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) If you or a loved one suffers from chronic depression that hasn’t responded to medications or therapy, TMS may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Studies show that patients receiving TMS experience:
- Significant mood improvements
- Reduced feelings of sadness and hopelessness
- Improved energy, motivation, and sleep
TMS targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for mood regulation. TMS for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) OCD can trap you in cycles of unwanted thoughts and repetitive behaviors. TMS targets the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, helping break the pattern and reduce OCD symptoms. Benefits of TMS for OCD include:
- Reduced frequency and intensity of obsessive thoughts
- Diminished urge to engage in compulsive behaviors
- Improved quality of life and daily functioning
