Achieve TMS East, with 16 locations, is the largest provider of BrainsWay’s Deep TMS in New England. Deep TMS therapy is used for the treatment of MDD and OCD. MDD is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in the United States and affects more than 15 million adults overall. OCD affects more than two million adults each year and approximately 50% of patients are resistant to first-line treatments. Deep TMS therapy is launching a new era in the treatment of MDD and OCD and offers hope to those who are living with these diseases.
BrainsWay’s Deep TMS, a safe, noninvasive treatment, is based on patents filed by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and has been Federal Drug Administration (FDA) cleared for the treatment of MDD since 2013 and OCD since 2018. Deep TMS treatment affects the regions of the brain associated with MDD and OCD, bringing significant improvement to patients. The brief outpatient treatments allow for little to no disruption to a patient’s daily activity. Immediately after treatment, patients are able to drive home and return to their daily routine, including work commitments.
