OCD

Break the Cycle of OCD with NeuroStar® TMS

If you’ve been battling intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors with little relief from traditional treatments, there’s hope. At Braincare Carlsbad, in Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Encinitas, California, Oluseyi Awodele, MD, MS, and his team offer NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment designed to target OCD at the source. Using gentle magnetic pulses, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps retrain the brain pathways involved in obsessive-compulsive patterns — providing relief for adults who haven’t responded well to medication or therapy alone.

Why Choose TMS for OCD?

• FDA-Cleared for Adults with OCD
• Non-invasive, in-office treatment
• Medication-free with minimal side effects
• Custom treatment plans tailored to your needs

Many patients experience fewer intrusive thoughts, a reduced need to perform rituals, and improved daily functioning — without the burden of additional medications.

What Is OCD?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that causes persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Performing these rituals might bring short-term relief, but the cycle often returns — stronger and more disruptive over time.

Common Obsessions:

• Fear of contamination
• Harm coming to oneself or others
• Unwanted sexual or religious thoughts
• Extreme concern with order or symmetry

Common Compulsions:

• Excessive cleaning or handwashing
• Repeating words, tapping, or counting
• Checking things repeatedly (locks, stoves)
• Organizing items in a specific way

When should I seek help for OCD?

OCD symptoms that interfere with work, relationships, or daily functioning deserve professional care. If you’ve tried therapy or medication without consistent results, TMS may be the breakthrough treatment you’ve been looking for.
