TMS Treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OCD

TMS is a pain free, non-invasive, medicine free, effective treatment for OCD

TMS will help you live free of OCD symptoms by selectively stimulating the brain areas involved in causing this disorder

OCD is a distressing and life limiting condition where the sufferer’s mind is preoccupied with unwanted thoughts, for example about dirt, contamination and they feel the compulsion to carry out some actions, for example repeated hand washing, cleaning. These thoughts and actions cannot be controlled by the person even when they try their hardest to.

How is OCD Treated?

For years, the only treatment for OCD was antidepressant and in more severe cases, anti-psychotic medication. These work to reduce some of the symptoms of the disorder in only up to 5 out of 10 people treated. Apart from the established side effects, the positive effects of the medication only last whilst it is continued for prolonged periods.

TMS is the new, more effective treatment directed at prefrontal cortex and the the brain cell networks (circuits) that are involved in causing OCD. This is especially true now, as so much recent research has been done to confirm the best brain areas to target and to further optimise the dose of TMS treatment for OCD.
