Greenbrook's St. Louis Regional Manager, Dr. Steven Harvey , was recently on 92.3 WIL to discuss mental health care during the COVID-19 crisis. Dr. Harvey joined Greenbrook TMS in 2018 as Regional Medical Director of our Greater St. Louis region. Dr. Harvey has been practicing general psychiatry since 1996 after receiving his medical degree from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. During the interview on WIL, Dr. Harvey touched on TMS therapy and how it works. COVID-19 is not only affecting life at home but may also be impacting people's mental health. Dr. Harvey recognizes that "everyone is worried about themselves, worried about their loved ones, worried about the economy, and all of the uncertainty." COVID-19 has created unwanted stressors in everyday life.
Dr. Harvey spoke about the basics of TMS therapy. TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation and is a treatment for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression and OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). TMS is an FDA-cleared treatment that delivers magnetic stimulation to the parts of the brain known to be underactive in people with depression or OCD. Dr. Harvey says that TMS therapy is "for those who have already tried other treatments and those other treatments didn't work. Typically our patients have already have tried medications or talk therapy and are still not doing well. In those cases, TMS is a very great option."
Greenbrook TMS is open to help our communities and we're taking precautions to help ensure the safety of both our patients and staff during this pandemic.
