Many people suffer from mental health conditions such as major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder with anxious depression. At our clinic, we offer NeuroStar for qualifying patients. NeuroStar is a non-invasive therapy without medication that is covered by most major insurance companies.
NeuroStar is an ideal option for patients who have not achieved prior success with standard medication. As a therapy, TMS—which stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation—offers proven depression relief that lasts without the need for medication or surgery.

What Conditions Can Be Treated By NeuroStar?
Adult patients in Beverly Hills, Glendale, and Long Beach with the following mental health conditions are encouraged to schedule a consultation for NeuroStar at our clinic:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Major depressive disorder with anxious depression
NeuroStar may be an ideal treatment option for people who have not achieved success with standard medication treatment.
Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder is one of the most common mental health challenges and one of the major causes of disability. Patients clinically diagnosed with MDD typically experience:
- Lack of energy
- Depressed mood
- Suicidal thoughts
- Decreased interest
- Poor concentration
- Changes in appetite or sleep
- Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
- Psychomotor retardation or agitation
Though the exact cause of MDD is unknown, it is generally associated with abnormalities in brain structure and function. These structural and functional impairments can cause an imbalance of neurotransmitter levels and depressed brain activity.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
A person with obsessive-compulsive disorder experiences intrusive, persistent thoughts and repeated behaviors. These symptoms can be time-consuming and cause significant distress and interference with daily living.
As with MDD, OCD patients typically have structural and functional differences in the brain. Brain imaging studies have shown that people with OCD typically have differences in structure and function in brain areas that control behavior and emotional responses.
Major Depressive Disorder With Anxious Depression
Many patients with major depressive disorder also experience anxiety. This is known as MDD with anxious depression. MDD with anxious depression overlaps with major depressive disorder but is distinct in that patients also experience anxiety symptoms. These patients usually have:
- Feelings of fear
- Feelings of tension
- Feelings of unusual restlessness
- Excessive worrying that causes difficulty in concentrating
MDD patients with anxious depression typically experience a poorer quality of life compared to patients without MDD, including poor clinical outcomes, worse prognosis, and poor functioning.
How Does NeuroStar TMS Therapy Relieve Your Symptoms?
Patients with conditions like MDD, OCD, and MDD with anxious depression typically have differences in brain structure and function that result in lowered brain activity. NeuroStar physically stimulates these lower-functioning areas to enhance brain activity. Over time, NeuroStar trains your brain to enhance activity by itself, allowing you to experience long-lasting relief from your symptoms.
Typically, medication is the first-line treatment for major depressive disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, it is not always the right treatment. Many patients do not achieve symptomatic relief from their medications.
NeuroStar TMS therapy in Beverly Hills, Glendale, and Long Beach does not require medication and is designed to physically treat your mental health conditions through strategic brain stimulation. It requires no downtime or recovery time, and is delivered in short, 20-minute treatment sessions.
