Approximately 40% of people with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) do not respond to conventional treatments, such as psychotherapy and antidepressants.
Using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for OCD is an innovative approach. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to calm brain areas where obsessions and compulsions originate.

It's important to know that you are not alone.
TMS therapy is a groundbreaking treatment for OCD. It uses short pulses of magnetic energy to stimulate areas of the brain that are related to mood. It’s a type of brain stimulation therapy that uses a magnetic field, similar to an MRI, to help fight OCD. TMS therapy is also non-invasive and has little to no side effects!
During a TMS session, patients sit in a comfortable chair with a magnetic coil placed on top of the head. This coil stimulates nerve cells in the brain and causes changes in cell activity which can lead to changes in mood and improvement of symptoms. The most common side effect of TMS may include mild scalp discomfort, which usually goes away quickly. So, why should TMS work for you?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental and behavioral disorder that affects approximately four million people of all ages in the US.
OCD causes anxiety-inducing obsessions and compulsive behaviors that can be highly stressful and time-consuming.
Obsessions are distressing, recurrent, intrusive thoughts or urges that are uncontrollable. Some examples of obsessions are wanting everything to be symmetrical or having an irrational fear of dirt.
Compulsive behavior is a ritualistic behavior that people develop to conceal the anxiety they experience due to obsessive thoughts. Compulsive behavior might be a need to turn on the light switch a certain amount of times before entering the room or overwashing hands due to fear of germs.
