Hi, I’m Tom with Optimal TMS. And if you or a loved one are struggling with OCD or obsessive-compulsive disorder, this video is for you. Let’s talk about what’s going on in the brain with OCD.
OCD is defined as a chronic condition where the mind is struggling with intrusive or unwanted thoughts or the desire to repeat activities compulsively, whether those activities are physical or cognitive or mental.
So, if you’re noticing that you’re stuck in these loops, if you’re noticing that it’s hard to get past certain activities or behaviors that are seeming to control your life, we take this magnetic coil and we generate pulse sequences that disrupt patterns within the brain that cause those ritualistic behaviors.
So, one of the main goals with TMS is to help somebody subtract those loops so that they can replace them with healthy patterns. If you are currently working with somebody doing talk therapy for OCD, TMS is a great opportunity to help you get further down the road with that.
TMS will knock out some of those patterns within the brain or help disrupt them so that your therapist and you can work together more effectively to accomplish the goal of not allowing OCD to regulate life.
I’m Tom with Optimal TMS. And if you or a loved one are struggling with OCD, book a free consultation with myself or a member of our team and we’ll see how we can help you. Thanks for watching.
