Tired Of Feeling Stuck? TMS Therapy Might Be The Game-Changer You Need!

For many people with OCD or Depression, life can feel like an endless cycle of exhaustion and intrusive thoughts. If you have tried multiple medications without success, it might be time to explore Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS is a state-of-the-art, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic pulses to change the structure of your brain in order to bring lasting relief. Because it uses no drugs, there are no major side effects. For many patients TMS offers hope when nothing else has. 

Gladstone’s TMS program accepts all major insurances except for EHP-John Hopkins and Medicaid/Medicare for Depression treatment. Those seeking TMS treatment for OCD will be eligible for Self-Pay Rates (not through insurance). This program is open to patients 18 years and older in our Mt Washington/ Baltimore Location. If you are interested in TMS at Gladstone, please email [email protected] or call 443-708-5856 and press 3.

Tired of the Medication Guessing Game? GeneSight Testing Can Help!

Most people have to go through several rounds of trial and error to find the right psychiatric medication that works for their unique physiology. That’s why Gladstone is excited to offer GeneSight testing – a simple cheek swab that can help take the guesswork out of your treatment plan.

By analyzing your unique genetic makeup, GeneSight helps your prescriber understand how your body might respond to different medications for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other conditions. Research has shown that patients are twice as likely to respond to medications selected with GeneSight’s guidance.

Whether you’ve struggled with medication side effects, haven’t found relief with current treatments, or are just starting your mental health journey – GeneSight might be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

Want to learn more? Ask your Gladstone provider about GeneSight at your next appointment, or call us at 443-708-5856 for more information.
