Beyond Meds: How TMS Is Rewiring Brains And Transforming Lives With Dr. Robert Westerman
Manage episode 497146526 series 2818661
Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) the revolutionary mental health treatment you've been hearing about, or just another fad? Dr. Robert Westerman, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a seriously powerful backstory from Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness, joins Tim Westbrook to cut through the BS and give it to us straight. In this episode, we ditch the medical jargon and get real about how TMS actually works, using magnets—not electricity like those scary ECT movies!—to fire up neurotransmitters and tackle issues like depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. Dr. Westerman, who's seen it all and treated thousands, breaks down why this could be a game-changer for folks struggling with those "treatment-resistant" conditions, plus spills the tea on the different ways you can access this treatment, making it more flexible and affordable than you might think.
