Understanding OCD and How TMS Treats It

What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is like a hamster wheel that you can’t get off. People with OCD have repeated, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and feel compelled to perform certain actions (compulsions) to reduce their anxiety.

How Does TMS Treat OCD?

Similar to its effects on depression and anxiety, TMS helps address OCD by stimulating specific areas of the brain involved in these obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. It aims to disrupt the unhealthy cycles of thinking.
