We provide patients in Vancouver and the surrounding areas the latest in depression treatments. We are pleased to be able to offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy to our patients, a non invasive, non medication treatment for managing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD. Depression makes you feel like you are walking alone, unable to enjoy time with loved ones and at times feeling disconnected from others as it’s quite difficult even for yourself to explain or understand why you feel so empty inside, alone, misunderstood. Patients take the step of trying medications to help improve their mood symptoms, but many meet a dead end as they don't feel significant improvement and instead experience side effects to medications.
