As a leading provider of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) therapy, Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine offers a safe and FDA-approved treatment that utilizes magnetic pulses to target the root causes of depression or OCD. This treatment is highly effective and covered by insurance. TMS offers treatment for various mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This therapy uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which can alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. Unlike medications, TMS does not have the systemic side effects commonly associated with traditional antidepressant drugs.

One of the key advantages of ketamine is its fast-acting nature. Unlike traditional treatments, ketamine often produces noticeable improvements in mood and cognitive function within hours, offering hope to those who have struggled with the slow progress of other therapies. Ketamine has demonstrated notable success in treating various forms of depression and PTSD, even in cases where traditional antidepressants have proven ineffective. Ketamine’s ability to induce rapid and robust antidepressant effects provides a glimmer of hope for individuals navigating the complexities of depression. It may offer relief when other treatments fall short.
