@@CommonSenseIsntTooCommon hey how are you doing now since you left your comment? im the same way ive failed many antidepressants... i had luck with the first one i took but it slowly faded over the years and ive gone through quite a bit of different drugs with no relief. im also considering tms. was this deep tms he went through or just regular tms?
Linuxx ive been doing okay thank you for asking. How are you? I am on a low dose of fluvoxamine 100mg a night and don’t want to increase because of the sexual side effects which i also unfortunately experience on this low dose im currently taking. My anxiety/ocd unfortunately will probably be with me for life and gets a lot worse when i try to travel or do anything outside of the normal mundane life that i have. Xanax works amazingly but you develop a dependence on them that is simply devastating to your personal health. I don’t wish it on my worst enemy. Which antidepressant worked for you and faded over time? Im just curious. And i never received tms treatment my insurance wouldn’t approve after my psychiatrist said i had to be “depressed” along with my formal diagnosis of ocd to be approved for treatment so they would rather feed me pills.
thank you...this video gives me a lot of hope I have OCD all my life, which caused also depression and anxiety cause I could never really deal with the problems in life. ...just the fear of OCD causes me depression and real anxiety
I think I have the worse OCD ever. I've been avoiding life so much for 36 years from fear of ocd stress that I haven't had friends, family or been able to work even. I'm SO alone and at almost 60 now I'm depressed because I never got that wedding, family I desired and could've been a scientist like I've always dreamed but OCD stole ALL my life.. it's gone and I can never ever get it back.
I just got referred to rTMS for Anxiety, OCD (Both are debilitating- I haven’t lived my life since I was in grade 9 so that was… 15 years ago) and I have some depression. Just waiting to hear back from them - I hope I get in and I hope it works…. Medication has done nothing and I live in 24/7 nauseated state….

I spent 3 months doing TMS and a year before that Neurofeedback for 3 months, both 3X’s a week. Unfortunately and after spending 15k they didn’t help and in fact I’ve become more sensitive to various stimuli. Now of course my TMS Dr is offering a “new” and improved protocol specifically for OCD as opposed to just anxiety…I’ll pass on that.
Yes--we hear this from patients who have gone elsewhere. The strategies that makes our office unique and offers higher likelihood of treatment success include using multiple-target approach, using LORETA and fMRI imaging to localized targets accurately and precisely, re-evaluating frequently and modifying protocols per patient progress and objective testing, and awareness of anatomical and functional networks when choosing treatment protocols. Most other offices use 'same size fits all approach' for all patients.
I got Deep TMS for my OCD and it didn’t really help. They offered false hope. It makes me feel sad. Hopeless even. Are there other treatment options for OCD?
We do not perform 'Deep TMS' at our center we find it not as effective as our method of multiple-target TMS designed uniquely to each person's brain map results. Your story is also common as most centers do not use the individualized approach we offer. We also combine TMS with 21-channel neurofeedback.
Ivan’s OCD I had sever ocd is over comable , cognitive behavior is only solution to over come it and you see it melt away medication not really solution , the other dr had it and he said he overcomes it
I am curious how many treatments before you felt better and do you continue to go periodically? Thank you I’m so glad you feel better, I’m going to try it soon.
If insurance is covering TMS for depression, is the doctor restricted to only stimulating the DLPFC at 10hz (or some specific protocol) or are they free to stimulate whatever area they find is effective for the patient diagnosed with depression and still have treatment covered?
The son is now working on several artificial intelligence projects of his own and continues to feel well and far productive. You can contact our office if you would like to personally speak to this particular patient with respect to his experiences.
We do not have a center in India at this time. We have had many patients who have traveled to our center in California from India for treatment, however. TMS can be very helpful for Tourette's and OCD.
Does this technique change or remove nonremovable negative adverse thinking or change thinkinv ???? Im have deep anixety and ocd of certain ideas thought i want to get rid of them but hopless i tried medications and drug its help 30%
rTMS and/or neurofeedback can help reverse ruminations and obsessive thoughts. Please reach us at our office for more information and to make a consultation appointment with the neurologist. (949) 652-7301
Just had my consultation with brainsway for my OCD. It's mainly obsessive thinking and intrusive thoughts with bad thought patterns. How is your device different than brainsway? I'd like to make sure I'm choosing the right tms
Our device is far less intrusive, safer, and more comfortable than Brainsway. We also start with brain mapping before starting treatment to individualize the sessions to your brain and we don't use 'one-size fits all' approach. Also, treatments are combined with neurofeedback to increase likelihood of success.
@Alec Seal Great question. Most studies show seizure risk of approximately 0.08/1000 for figure of 8 coil (type of coil we use) and 0.12/1000 for H-coil (used with the 'deep TMS' coils) which means the type of coil we use is approximately 1.5 times safer overall. Most patients who have experienced both types of coils report more comfort with the figure of 8 coil. Moreover, we use MRI navigation to ensure targeting which is more comfortable than the stereotaxic style equipment used by many other centers. Overall, risks associated with TMS are far less than that reported with most medication regimens used to treat OCD and many other disorders. You can learn more about the seizure risk between different coil types by reading following scientific papers published in journal 'Clinical Neurophysiology' Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2019, Pages 1409-1416 and Brain Stimulation: Risk of inadvertently induced seizures with deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation .

My 20 yo has severe OCD, we went with smart tms as opposed to deep tms, I'd say it helped about 30 percent, so now we're going to do brainsway deep tms,, helps to have a routine of things they like to and are able to do, and to be in a very positive environment with visits or outings with their favorite people and also I think depends on their severity, mine was severe and brought down some but I think and drs have said you can do it longer than just the 6 weeks and I've heard others say it helped them the second time and when they did more than 6 weeks, OCD is way stronger than even severe depression, that's my take on it, it does help but ocd patients need longer treatment sessions than the 18 minutes, maybe had she gotten the original 40 that they used to do, we wouldn't have to be doing it a second time
@@millysue6226 Thank you for your insight. At our center, we begin with comprehensive neurological evaluation and QEEG analysis by board-certified neurologist. We guide our rTMS treatment on individual findings. Most of our patients with OCD require stimulation of multiple targets on the brain, guided by MRI navigation, and usually more than 30 sessions to experience complete relief. We also re-evaluate with repeat QEEG and physician evaluation after each 10 sessions and modify protocols based on the re-evaluations. Most centers do not stimulate multiple targets, use QEEG evaluations or modify protocols as frequently as we do. We also often combine TMS with neurofeedback to achieve the highest likelihood of treatment success.
@@tomjerry5916 One of the benefits of TMS is the long-term relief it provides when done properly. Some patients do require maintenance after 1-2 years but at far less intensity and freqeuency than initial treatment session.

If anyone claims that they can 'cure' everyone and all regardless of the context--we would question their conclusions.
