A New Era of Hope: Non-Medication OCD Treatment Now Available at Wellbeings
Living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can feel like a never-ending battle. Intrusive thoughts, mental rituals, and compulsive behaviors can take a serious toll on day-to-day life, interfering with relationships, work, and overall well-being. For many, traditional treatments such as medication or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) bring some relief. But for others, symptoms remain stubbornly persistent.
Now, a breakthrough non-medication OCD treatment is offering new hope.
Wellbeings, a leading mental health clinic in Burlington, Ontario, is pleased to introduce BrainsWay Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™), a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that directly targets the brain circuits involved in OCD. Approved by Health Canada and supported by extensive clinical research, this innovative approach is changing the landscape of OCD treatment.
Understanding OCD
OCD is more than just liking things neat or double-checking the locks. It’s a chronic mental health condition characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive actions or mental rituals (compulsions). These can include fears of contamination, a need for exactness, distressing taboo thoughts, or fears of causing harm. To cope, people with OCD might engage in time-consuming routines like excessive cleaning, checking, or counting.
About 1% of Canadians live with OCD, and many experience additional challenges such as anxiety or depression. Yet access to effective treatment remains a challenge, particularly for those who don’t respond to first-line options like medication and CBT.
How BrainsWay TMS™ Works
BrainsWay TMS™ represents a major advancement in mental health technology. It works by delivering targeted magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain linked to OCD, particularly the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex. These areas are responsible for regulating worry, decision-making, and emotional responses.
Unlike older forms of TMS, BrainsWay’s patented H7-coil allows for deeper, broader stimulation, offering more meaningful results for patients who have struggled with other therapies.
And the best part? The treatment is comfortable, well tolerated, and fits easily into daily life. Each session lasts about 18 minutes, requires no sedation or downtime, and can be combined with existing treatments like therapy or medication.
Real Results, Backed by Research
A major study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry found that more than one in three people with treatment-resistant OCD experienced significant symptom relief with TMS. Participants reported improved focus, reduced anxiety, and better quality of life, all without the long-term side effects often associated with psychiatric medications.
At Wellbeings, clinicians are already seeing positive outcomes. Many patients describe a “quieting of the noise” in their minds, fewer compulsions, more mental clarity, and the ability to move through their day without the same level of distress or disruption.
Effective OCD Treatments Beyond Medication
While medication remains an important tool in treating OCD, it doesn’t work for everyone. BrainsWay TMS™ opens the door to a new approach, a safe, evidence-based option for those who need an alternative or an additional layer of support.
If you or someone you know is living with OCD and hasn’t found relief through traditional treatments, Deep TMS™ could be the breakthrough you’ve been searching for. With personalized care, a compassionate team, and advanced technology, Wellbeings is here to help you take the next step toward lasting relief.
