VADNAIS HEIGHTS, Minn., April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Remedy, a person-centered mental health care facility offering advanced treatments, announced today that it is now offering BrainsWay’s Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) for major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
“Our mission at The Remedy is to provide the best treatment options available in one place, for patients with mental health illnesses in the Vadnais Heights community,” said Dr. Jeffrey Sawyer, M.D., psychiatrist, co-founder and CEO of The Remedy. “While we are taking proper precautions during the COVID-19 outbreak, our facility is still serving patients in the community through telemental health services and in-clinic services for patients receiving Deep TMS treatments.”
For those reliant on Deep TMS sessions, The Remedy has implemented measures such as disinfecting all touched surfaces frequently, and after each patient visit, requiring providers to wear masks, and adhering to physical distancing as much as possible during sessions, and in the waiting area.
Patients can learn more about The Remedy’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic by visiting the company’s dedicated page, which includes guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and tips to care for yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually. The company has also rebranded its website, allowing easier navigation and access to information.
BrainsWay’s Deep TMS administers magnetic waves through a cushioned helmet to target deep structures of the brain that impact a patients’ depression and OCD symptoms. The treatment is both noninvasive and medication-free, and patients can return to normal activities, such as driving, immediately following the session. Because Deep TMS penetrates deeper and broader in the brain than traditional TMS, it enables stimulation of the deep brain structures that are involved in mental health illnesses. BrainsWay has been treating depression with Deep TMS for more than 10 years and received FDA clearance to target OCD in 2018.
In addition to Deep TMS, The Remedy offers telemental health, ketamine infusion therapy, psychotherapy for addiction, trauma therapy and more. The facility is located at 3640 Talmage Circle, Suite 216, Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. For more information, visit www.theremedymn.com or call the clinic at 952-431-5330.
