Tired Of Feeling Stuck? TMS Therapy Might Be The Game-Changer You Need!
OCD and Depression can make life feel like an endless cycle of intrusive thoughts, exhaustion, and frustration. If meds and therapy haven’t worked, it might be time to explore Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS is a cutting edge, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic pulses to rewire your brain and bring lasting relief. No drugs, no major side effects—just real results. Whether you’re a young adult looking for freedom or someone who’s battled for years, TMS offers hope when nothing else has. Could this be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for?
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 to 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 tms@gladstonepsych.com or call 443-708-5856 and press 3.
Tired of the Medication Guessing Game? GeneSight Testing Can Help!
Ever felt like finding the right mental health medication is just trial and error? You’re not alone! At Gladstone Psychiatry and Wellness, we’re 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 our providers understand how your body might respond to different medications for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other conditions. Studies show 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.
