ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Michigan Advanced Psychiatry, a clinic providing advanced treatments for mental health disorders, announced today that it is officially opening its doors to the public. The clinic will offer BrainsWay’s Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) for major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
“We are proud to announce the opening of our new clinic and the ability to offer noninvasive treatment options for patients living with depression or OCD,” said Dr. Andrew Schmale, psychiatrist at Michigan Advanced Psychiatry. “We believe it is critical, due to the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on mental health, specifically around depression and OCD, that we are investing in clinically proven treatments like Deep TMS and ketamine to better serve our community in the Ann Arbor area.”
BrainsWay’s Deep TMS device noninvasively administers magnetic waves through a cushioned helmet to target deep structures of the brain that impact depression symptoms. The treatment offers a medication-free solution, and patients can return to normal activities, such as driving, immediately following the 20-minute sessions. Because Deep TMS penetrates deeper and broader in the brain than traditional TMS, there is evidence that response rates are higher than traditional TMS. BrainsWay has been treating depression with Deep TMS since 2013 and received FDA clearance to target OCD in 2018.
Michigan Advanced Psychiatry offers Deep TMS, Ketamine treatments, evaluation and medication management services. The clinic is open Monday through Friday and is located at 320 North Main St., Suite 300, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104.
