Major depressive disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is one of the most common mental health conditions, not just in the United States, but in the world. An MDD diagnosis requires the patient to have a consistently depressed mood accompanied by at least four of the following symptoms:
The actual causes of depression are complex and still being studied. However, research has shown that it is associated with abnormalities in brain function and structure that impact your mood, emotions, and behavior. NeuroStar TMS therapy can treat patients in Albuquerque with this condition, including teenagers starting at age 15.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that can severely disrupt your daily life, making even simple tasks, like brushing your teeth, difficult. Brain imaging studies have shown structural and functional differences in the brains of people with OCD.
Patients with MDD with anxious depression face the challenges of both depression and anxiety at the same time—often experiencing the worst aspects of each. Alongside typical depression, they may also suffer from anxiety symptoms, such as tension, restlessness, uncontrollable fear, and difficulty concentrating due to excessive worry. This combined diagnosis often leads to a poorer mental health prognosis and reduced quality of life compared to those with only depression or anxiety.
Offered in our Albuquerque office, NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is designed to address these mental health conditions by directly stimulating the specific brain regions that are affected. It does this with the application of gentle but powerful electromagnetic waves, which activate your brain cells to restore your brain function. This non-invasive treatment aims to enhance your brain’s natural ability to regulate your mood and emotions. It is specifically designed to help you achieve symptomatic relief if you are a patient with clinical depression, OCD, or anxious depression. Among the highlights:
With an 83% success rate in clinical trials, it is easy to see why so many people have taken advantage of this option.
If you are a patient who lives in Albuquerque and are struggling with a mental health condition like depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or anxious depression, NeuroStar TMS therapy may be right for you. Chrysalis Psychiatry offers personalized, compassionate care for our patients, and we are at your side every step of the way.
