NeuroStar is especially ideal for individuals who have struggled with standard medication for the above conditions. This treatment can offer hope to those who have trouble managing medicinal side effects or have not found relief despite trying multiple kinds of medication.
NeuroStar TMS therapy has effectively treated New Jersey patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), a condition also known as clinical depression. MDD is one of the most prevalent mental health issues in the world, possibly affecting up to 17% of the population.
A professional diagnosis of MDD typically involves experiencing a persistent depressed mood in addition to at least four of the following symptoms:
As with all mental health conditions, MDD is linked to abnormalities in brain function. These abnormalities tend to affect the regions of the brain that control and regulate mood, emotion, and behavior. TMS therapy can target and stimulate these areas in a way that helps reduce the symptoms of MDD.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that manifests through intrusive, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can severely disrupt and impair a person’s daily life.
The effects of OCD can cause significant distress for patients. Like MDD, OCD is also linked to brain activity. Brain imaging studies have highlighted differences in brain function in OCD patients, especially areas that regulate emotion and behavior—it is these impairments and differences that cause obsessions and compulsions.
Many individuals with clinical depression also experience anxiety, formally called major depressive disorder with anxious depression. Patients with MDD and anxious depression exhibit symptoms of anxiety alongside typical clinical depression symptoms, including:
Patients with dual conditions such as these can experience greater impairments than if they only had one diagnosis. As a result, MDD and anxiety can lead to a poorer prognosis and quality of life.
TMS therapies like NeuroStar target the brain regions associated with mood, emotion, and behavior. These areas can become impaired due to a mental health condition and TMS can physically stimulate them using electromagnetic waves in a safe and controlled manner. Over time, the brain improves its activity in these regions, alleviating these symptoms.
NeuroStar offers numerous benefits to our New Jersey patients, making it the #1 doctor-recommended TMS therapy. Some of the most notable highlights of this fantastic treatment include:
