Greenbrook's Maryland Medical Director, Dr. Misty Borst , was recently on 101.9 WLIF. Dr. Borst received her medical degree from the Medical University of South Carolina and has been practicing TMS therapy since 2016. During her 101.9 WLIF interview, Dr. Borst addressed how COVID-19 is affecting mental health.
The current pandemic has created a lot of stress and uncertainty, and Dr. Borst advises on ways to maintain your mental health during this time by:
- Creating a schedule
- Getting dressed and out of your pajamas every morning
- Connecting with friends
- Checking in on loved ones
- Making sure you are exercising
During the interview, Dr. Borst also touches on the basics of TMS therapy. TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation and is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for treatment-resistant depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. TMS therapy uses an electromagnetic pulse over a specific part of the brain that regulates your mood. TMS has minimal side effects in comparison to those of medication management. Unlike drug-related side effects which include insomnia, weight gain and nausea, the most common side effect of TMS therapy is mild to moderate headache.
Dr. Borst also touches on Greenbrook's increased patient access to telehealth. Greenbrook is now offering select appointments to take place via phone call or videoconference. If you have questions about whether TMS is right for you, if TMS is covered by your insurance, or general questions about TMS therapy, schedule your no-cost consultation here.
