Are you or someone close to you struggling with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or major depression with comorbid anxiety? Finding effective, long-lasting treatment can be challenging—especially when standard treatments such as medication and psychotherapy are not working as intended. If this challenge sounds familiar to you, you might want to consider NeuroStar.

NeuroStar Advanced Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy in Albany is a groundbreaking, non-surgical, and non-invasive treatment that is revolutionizing mental health care and treatment for clinical depression, obsessive-compulsiveness, and anxious depression. This treatment is offered to our adult patients in Albany and the surrounding capital region. To discover if NeuroStar is the right treatment for you, schedule a consultation at Capital Region TMS.

What Is TMS Therapy?

TMS, which stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, works by safely delivering magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain associated with mood regulation, behavior, and emotion. Over time, TMS therapy trains your brain to improve its brain activity in these regions, easing your mental health symptoms. TMS therapy offers a chance of symptomatic relief for those who have found medication or psychotherapy treatments ineffective. At Capital Region TMS, we offer NeuroStar, the #1-physician recommended TMS therapy.

What Is NeuroStar Advanced Therapy?

NeuroStar is not just TMS therapy; it is the gold standard. With advanced, cutting-edge technology and proven clinical results demonstrated by numerous clinical trials, NeuroStar is at the forefront of innovation in the treatment of mental health conditions. Backed by high-quality, rigorous research, NeuroStar has earned its reputation as a safe, effective, and FDA-cleared treatment for qualifying adult and in certain adolescent patients over the age of 15 with depression. NeuroStar is offered at our Albany clinic in short, 19-minute weekly sessions, making it a convenient and highly accessible treatment for our patients.

What Can NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy Treat?

NeuroStar offers hope to adult patients battling a variety of mental health challenges, including:

  • Major depressive disorder (MDD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Major depressive disorder with anxious depression 

If you experience any of these conditions and you are not achieving relief with standard medication or psychotherapy treatment, NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy may be right for you.

Benefits of NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy 

What sets NeuroStar apart from other treatments and competing TMS therapies?  Unlike traditional medication, NeuroStar does not produce systemic side effects of medication and does not interfere with your daily living. Unlike surgery and other invasive interventions, NeuroStar does not require anesthesia or sedation and will not result in incisions and scars. Unlike psychotherapy, NeuroStar treats the symptoms of your condition at the source—directly to your brain. 

Some TMS therapies offer a one-size-fits-all approach; NeuroStar offers individualized, personal treatment plans that have been proven to be effective. With a robust body of clinical evidence supporting its efficacy and long-lasting results, NeuroStar is the top TMS treatment recommended by physicians.

Additionally, NeuroStar is also covered by most major insurance providers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare: over 300 million Americans have  insurance coverage for NeuroStar.

Am I A Good Candidate for NeuroStar?

If you are an adult patient with MDD, OCD, or anxious depression, you may be eligible for NeuroStar. It can also treat adolescents over the age of 15 with MDD. If you have tried multiple medications to manage your symptoms without success or you experienced intolerable side effects, NeuroStar could be a game-changer for you. 

Additionally, if you are looking for a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments or you are seeking long-term relief without the hassle of daily medication, NeuroStar may be a good treatment option for you to consider. However, NeuroStar may not be suitable for everyone, including: 

  • Pregnant patients
  • Patients with a history of seizures
  • Patients younger than 15 years of age
  • Patients with certain medical implants or devices, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants

As with any medical treatment, you should consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if NeuroStar is the best treatment option for you.
