Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a persistent and time-consuming mental illness that interferes with and interrupts an individual’s daily functioning. With the proper treatment from the team at Interventional Psychiatry Group in Memphis, Tennessee, those diagnosed with OCD can get back to their typical lives.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness characterized by obsessions (anxiety-provoking, unwanted, and intrusive thoughts, images, or urges) and/or compulsions (behaviors or mental acts done repeatedly) that the individual uses to combat and decrease the anxiety of the obsession.
Our board-certified providers at Interventional Psychiatry Group diagnose anxiety disorders by listening to your symptoms and past emotional experiences, with consideration for your medical history, family history, and genetic predispositions.
Medication and psychotherapy are among the first-line treatments for OCD. Interventional Psychiatry Group offers many treatment options for OCD, including prescription medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and more.
To ensure you receive the most effective medication, Interventional Psychiatry providers are proud to offer GeneSight® testing. With a cheek swab and analysis, our providers can customize a treatment plan based on how you metabolize certain medications.
Interventional Psychiatry Group is also proud to offer alternative treatment modalities for OCD, including BrainsWay Deep TMS™ (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation). TMS provides painless pulses to areas of the brain that are responsible for OCD symptoms via a coil in a helmet. TMS is non-invasive and non-surgical, and it is safe to resume daily activities such as driving immediately after treatment. Visit our BrainsWay Deep TMS™ for more information.
If our team of providers believes that you would be best served by psychotherapy, including exposure therapy, a referral can be made.
