Hosting a Party

It was so exciting right now t0 see Dr. Oz do this kind of supportive piece on TMS therapy the other day on his show.  He backed it with all of his influence as the way forward for psychiatric treatment, which we at Orange County Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine wholeheartedly  support.

If you are unfamiliar, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS Therapy) is a breakthrough in psychiatric treatment as it represents a paradigm shift toward treating the biological processes involved in mental health conditions.  By encouraging neurons to reset using magnetic waves, TMS therapy teaches your brain the way to modulate emotions and moods like depression.  It is literally an immediate brain training program!  As the patient you can expect a painless, non-systemic treatment that works when other methods including psychotherapy and anti-depressant therapies didn’t work.  In fact, the therapy can be so powerful that it was approved 3 years ago for treating persistent Major Depression from the FDA.

In addition to its FDA approval for major depression, TMS therapy has additionally been shown in research to treat a few of the following conditions without drugs at the same time:

ADHD

Anxiety Attacks

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Drug Cravings (studies have shown an important decline in cocaine treatments after only ten sessions)
