Good news for the North and South: Mor Institute has announced the expansion of its services in the Krayot and the city of Ashdod, making an innovative and groundbreaking treatment accessible for major depression, PTSD, and OCD. The treatment involves magnetic stimulation (DEEP TMS) using a special helmet.
Major depression (also known as clinical depression) is a common and severe mood disorder that can significantly impact a person’s life. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and loss of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. Major depression can lead to changes in appetite and sleep, difficulty concentrating, lack of energy, feelings of guilt and worthlessness, and even suicidal thoughts. In many cases, major depression is also accompanied by anxiety symptoms such as nervousness, fear, and in severe cases, panic attacks. Major depression is a serious and dangerous mental disorder that can have severe consequences if left untreated.
Traditional treatments for major depression, including psychological therapy, medication, or a combination of both, are not effective for all patients. In many cases, these treatments fail to provide significant relief from depressive symptoms and may even cause severe side effects. As a result, there is a growing need for newer and more effective treatments for major depression.
Deep TMS, or deep transcranial magnetic stimulation, is an innovative and effective treatment for major depression that is resistant to other treatments. The treatment has been approved by the FDA as a safe and effective therapy for major depression, anxiety, and OCD. It is administered using a special helmet placed on the patient's head.
According to Dr. Nicky Lieberman, Medical Director of Mor Institute, “This is a new and groundbreaking technology for treating depression in cases where traditional treatments have not achieved the desired result.”
