What You Need to Know About Deep TMSĀ® at Sunny Skies Healthcare in Chicago, IL
Have you tried traditional therapy time and again, only for your OCD or depression to remain treatment-resistant? There’s a solution. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, or Deep TMS®, offers breakthrough potential for individuals in Chicago, Illinois, who are seeking a more effective approach to mental health treatment. At Sunny Skies Healthcare Inc, this innovative therapy is part of a comprehensive model of psychiatric care designed to support lasting improvement without relying solely on medication.
What Is Deep TMS, and How Does It Work?
BrainsWay Deep TMS® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood, behavior, and cognition. Using a specialized helmet equipped with advanced H-Coil technology, the treatment reaches deeper brain regions—up to 4 cm beneath the skull—allowing for broader and more effective stimulation. Unlike medications that affect the entire body, Deep TMS therapy targets the brain directly, regulating neural activity where it matters most.
Conditions Deep TMS Can Be Used to Treat
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is commonly used for individuals who have not found relief through traditional treatments. At Sunny Skies Healthcare, it may be used for:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Anxious-depression
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Smoking addiction
- Late-life depression
Sessions typically last around 20 minutes and are completed multiple times per week over several weeks. Patients remain fully awake while a gentle tapping sensation is felt. As it is non-invasive, you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
