Roughly half of the 2.2 million Americans living with OCD do not respond to conventional treatments, such as medications and Exposure Response Prevention Therapy. As the first noninvasive medical device cleared for OCD treatment, Deep TMS is giving these patients a new treatment option to pursue if others have not worked. “There is an urgent need for treatments for depression, OCD and other mental illnesses to provide relief and allow patients to prosper,” said Aleksandra Krunic, MD, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “We are thrilled to be adding Deep TMS for OCD to our suite of services in an effort to ensure that our patients have access to the top treatments available today. We have had much success and satisfaction from our patients undergoing treatment with Deep TMS for depression and are confident that the OCD treatment will lead to positive results as well.”
