Obsessive-compulsive disorder, also known as OCD, is a relatively common mental health problem. Like many mental health conditions, OCD can have severe impacts on a person’s overall health and wellbeing.
In many cases, OCD develops earlier in adulthood. But older people can start to experience this common condition too.
At TMS Advantage, we are committed to helping people in Clearwater and other areas to get the support they need to manage and live with OCD.
Treatment for OCD
Our comprehensive program of treatments is suitable for people with common mental health conditions, including OCD, depression, and anxiety. We work primarily with the following treatments, which many patients report is a highly effective program.
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): This makes an effective form of OCD therapy by targeting the parts of the brain that deal with certain emotions. By targeting this OCD treatment, people can experience great results with reduced OCD symptoms.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): Talking to someone about your feelings and emotions can help to lift a huge weight off your shoulders. The qualified therapists at TMS Advantage can help you to understand more about why you feel or behave the way you do. Doing so, and particularly in conjunction with transcranial magnetic stimulation, has been known to bring fantastic results that can be life-changing.
- Lifestyle changes: Making changes to your lifestyle can help in managing the symptoms of OCD. This is why we consider it to be a critical part of any OCD treatment or therapy for other mental health conditions. By eating nutritious foods, increasing physical activity, and focusing on quality sleep, you could boost the results of any OCD therapy program.
Living with OCD doesn’t have to feel impossible. Getting the right support in a targeted way could help you to manage and deal with the symptoms and effects of OCD.
