I have a dear friend who has struggled with OCD for about 30 years. He’s tried dozens of meds, in patient and out patient hospitalizations, Exposure and response therapy , just about everything. He just recently hear about Deep TMS that reaches deeper into the brain and luckily we have an ocd clinic about and hour away that offers it. The device is called Brains Way Deep TMS.

Just wondering if anyone here has any input good or bad?

Hello! Yes I had dTMS. I had it for several weeks but, it showed no improvement so we didn't continue for the last few sessions. I ended up having dbs surgery. It stands for deep brain stimulation. They implanted 2 electrodes inside my brain and the battery pack inserted inside the upper left side of chest. The surgery was first designed for Parkinson and the tremors but, they started to use it for ocd. It didn't heal me but, it has helped me. It also helped with being able to be in therapy. Unfortunately, its not easy to get. Ask your Dr about it.

Best wishes,

I tried it twice and did nothing for ocd or depression. I think it's more for those with mild depression. Miss-Walker-95Plus.
