MedPsych Integrated - Cary: Your Dedicated Partner for Mental Wellness in Cary
Located at 1110 SE Cary Pkwy #207, Cary, NC 27518, MedPsych Integrated is a specialized mental health practice committed to providing effective and evidence-based treatments for individuals seeking relief from depression and anxiety. We understand that mental health challenges can significantly impact your quality of life, and we strive to offer compassionate care tailored to your unique needs.
Our primary focus at this Cary location is the delivery of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. TMS is a non-invasive treatment option designed for adults experiencing treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This condition occurs when standard antidepressant medications have not yielded sufficient improvement. TMS works by using focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, which may have been underactive.
Unlike some other therapeutic interventions, TMS does not require sedation or anesthesia, making it a comfortable and well-tolerated procedure for many patients. The process involves sitting comfortably while a specialized device is positioned gently against your head. This device generates a magnetic field that passes through the skull to precisely target nerve cells in the prefrontal cortex.
At MedPsych Integrated - Cary, our experienced clinicians are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the TMS process. We begin with a thorough evaluation to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option for you. If it is, our team will explain the detailed procedure, answer any questions you might have, and work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan.
The actual TMS sessions are typically brief, lasting around 20-40 minutes each. Patients often find they can engage in normal activities immediately following a session, including returning to work or other daily responsibilities. A standard course of TMS treatment involves daily sessions, usually five days a week, for several consecutive weeks.
We believe in a collaborative approach to mental health care. While TMS can be a powerful standalone treatment, we also emphasize the importance of a comprehensive strategy. This may include ongoing therapy, lifestyle modifications, and continued medication management if appropriate, all coordinated within our Cary practice to support your overall well-being.
Choosing MedPsych Integrated - Cary means accessing specialized expertise focused solely on improving your mental health outcomes through advanced techniques like TMS. We are committed to providing high-quality, localized care right here in Cary.
