TREATMENTS
What do we treat?
At rTMS International, we focus on treating depressive symptoms and obsessive-compulsive disorders, particularly when previous treatments have not had sufficient effect. We provide specialized care for people for whom standard therapies did not lead to the desired results, and we carefully assess what can be appropriate in your specific situation.
Depression
Your mood is low, your energy is depleted, and activities that normally bring pleasure feel empty or meaningless. Daily functioning is significantly affected.
OCD and depression
Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can severely limit your life, especially when combined with depressive symptoms.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
Depressive symptoms may persist over a longer period. Negative thoughts, fatigue, and hopelessness remain present despite previous treatments.
Personalized treatment
Every person is unique, which is why we tailor each treatment entirely to your personal situation. Our team of experienced specialists consists of professionals from diverse backgrounds. Thanks to this broad expertise, we approach your symptoms from different perspectives and provide the best possible care. Our warm and compassionate approach ensures that you feel heard and understood. Together, we work toward your recovery.
How do we support your recovery?
Depending on your symptoms and treatment history, we apply targeted, scientifically supported treatment methods. We carefully evaluate what has already been tried and determine together which next step best fits your situation.
RTMS
At rTMS International, we offer repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). This therapy is effective, safe, and scientifically supported. It helps reduce symptoms of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) by stimulating specific areas of the brain with magnetic pulses. rTMS promotes neuroplasticity, increasing the brain’s ability to change and adapt. This can enhance effectiveness by making the brain more receptive to new thought and behavior patterns.
Talk therapy
Talk therapy (CBT/ACT) focuses on learning skills and strategies to cope with negative thoughts. Thanks to symptom relief through rTMS, the cognitive and behavioral changes achieved during sessions can be maintained more effectively, as clients are in a better mental state to learn and apply new techniques and strategies.
If symptoms worsen acutely
Depression can sometimes become so severe that you feel overwhelmed or enter a crisis situation. For example, when feelings of hopelessness intensify or when thoughts of self-harm or suicide arise. rTMS International does not provide acute crisis care. On our crisis page, you can read how we may or may not be able to support you in such situations and where you can find immediate and appropriate help.

Whether treatment is appropriate depends on your symptoms, diagnosis, and medical situation. During a careful intake process, we assess whether rTMS is safe and suitable in your case.
