Battling depression or OCD?
Recovery is possible
At rTMS International, we offer an innovative, drug-free treatment designed to alleviate depressive symptoms or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in combination with depression. Our approach combines repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with cognitive behavioral therapy. This method is effective and helps you get your life back on track without the side effects of traditional medication.
What is rTMS?
rTMS therapy focuses on restoring balance in specific brain regions, without requiring anesthesia or surgery.

A science-backed and focused approach
Scientifically proven alternative
Until recently, medication and cognitive behavioral therapy were the primary treatments for depression. Since May 2024, rTMS has been included in the multidisciplinary Depression guideline as a recommended treatment. It is considered a valuable treatment option as a third choice alongside psychotherapy and medication.
Adressing the core issue
rTMS can be an effective treatment for depression or OCD without the unpleasant side effects that medication may bring. When choosing between rTMS and medication, various factors come into play, such as your medical history, the severity of your symptoms, and personal preferences. Unlike medication, rTMS directly targets the brain which leads to neurological changes that elleviate depressive symptoms. While the treatment may be time consuming, it has minimal side effects.
Personalized treatment plan
It’s possible to receive both rTMS and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), tailored to your situation. When rTMS is effective, it can help reduce depressive symptoms, creating more space for talk therapy to have an impact. During talk therapy, attention is also given to the psychological and social factors that contribute to the development and persistence of symptoms. Combining these treatments can support long-term recovery and help improve overall quality of life.
