Deep TMS utilizes electromagnetic fields to safely and effectively regulate the neural activity of brain structures found to be related to the targeted mental health or neurological condition. As the treatment progresses, the relevant symptom’s conditions become less frequent and less severe, allowing the patient to experience and enjoy a better quality of life.
BrainsWay’s treatment platform is based on a unique breakthrough technology called Deep TMS, which can reach significant depth and breadth of the brain and produce broad stimulation and functional modulation of targeted brain areas.
Deep TMS treatment features unique, patented coils that are fitted into a helmet, which is secured snugly to the patient’s head during the treatment. BrainsWay’s therapy has been utilized in over 60 clinical trials worldwide.
Medication management in behavioral health refers to the process of overseeing and optimizing the use of medications to treat mental health conditions. It involves a collaborative approach between individuals receiving treatment, healthcare providers, and mental health professionals. The primary goals of medication management in behavioral health include:
Medication management is an integral part of comprehensive behavioral health care, often used in conjunction with other therapeutic interventions such as counseling or psychotherapy. It aims to support individuals in achieving improved mental health outcomes while minimizing the risks associated with medication use.
Individual therapy for adolescents and adults is a confidential and supportive space where individuals work one-on-one with a trained therapist to address personal challenges and promote mental well-being.
For adolescents, therapy often focuses on navigating the complexities of adolescence, including identity development, peer relationships, academic stress, and family dynamics. Therapists help adolescents build coping skills, enhance self-esteem, and navigate the challenges of this transitional phase.
In adult therapy, individuals collaboratively explore and address a range of issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Therapists use evidence-based approaches to assist adults in gaining insights into their thoughts and behaviors, fostering personal growth, and developing effective coping mechanisms.
Both adolescent and adult therapy provide a non-judgmental space for self-exploration, where individuals can work towards achieving their mental health goals, improving overall well-being, and developing skills for a more fulfilling life.
Esketamine, marketed under the brand name Spravato, is a medication used to treat depression, specifically in individuals who have not responded well to other antidepressant treatments. Unlike traditional antidepressant pills, Esketamine is administered as a nasal spray.
The treatment process involves a person using the nasal spray under the supervision of a healthcare professional, usually in a healthcare setting. It's often used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant. Esketamine works by affecting a neurotransmitter called glutamate in the brain. This is a new modality that has potential for rapid improvements in depression symptoms. These improvements coming within weeks rather than months.
