Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder in Layton, UT

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental illness characterized by persistent and distressing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Individuals with OCD often feel powerless against these intrusive thoughts and urges. At Serenity Mental Health Centers, we are committed to empowering our patients to regain control over their OCD tendencies, enabling them to live more fulfilling lives. If you're struggling with the symptoms of OCD, know that help is just a phone call away in Layton, UT.

There are several treatment methods available for OCD, with prescription medication being the most common. However, at Serenity Mental Health Centers, we also offer alternative therapies such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy.

TMS and ketamine therapy serve as excellent alternatives to prescription medications, particularly when unwanted side effects occur. TMS is a noninvasive procedure that utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions associated with OCD symptoms. On the other hand, ketamine therapy involves intravenous administration of ketamine, which is known to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Regardless of the chosen treatment option, our team is dedicated to providing unwavering support to each patient as we collaboratively work to find the most suitable treatment approach for them.

For individuals dealing with the possibility of having obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), it's common to feel scared, isolated, and frustrated.

Take back your life seemed cheesy to me but seriously I did TMS in July and as of October my life is totally different. I was barely able to get out of bed and I was so broken. Going all in with Serenity has totally changed my life. I remember around week three waking up and feeling weird and realizing I had never woken up and been happy. Back in June I could barely function now I wake up and I am happy I be alive and able to process my emotions and build Bette habits and relationships. For me it worked 100%. It definitely is a lot of work. I made sure I never missed a day and there were occasional challenges to work around with insurance and finding the right tech and schedule but you got this. You deserve to be happy.
