What if there was a way to treat depression, anxiety, and OCD—without relying solely on medication?In this episode of The FWD Think Tank Podcast, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Hannah Lynch, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Founder of Onward Psychiatry located in Norwood Massachusetts, to break down the science and real-life impact of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy—a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that’s changing the landscape of mental health care for both adults and adolescents.If you or someone you love has felt stuck, frustrated, or unsupported by traditional approaches like medication or talk therapy alone, this conversation offers a powerful new perspective on what healing can look like.We dive into:What TMS therapy actually is and how it works to stimulate brain activityHow TMS supports neuroplasticity and the brain’s ability to heal itselfWho is a good candidate for TMS treatmentWhat sessions feel like + how long treatment typically lastsThe side effects and benefits of TMS vs. medicationWhy medication doesn’t always move the needle for mental healthHow to find a TMS provider near youWhy therapy + lifestyle changes still matter in the healing processWhere to start if you're struggling with depression, anxiety, or OCDThis episode is for anyone looking for alternative mental health treatments, deeper understanding, and real hope when it feels like nothing is working.Hannah brings both clinical expertise and compassion to this conversation, and I’m so excited to share this with you.*Disclaimer: All patient information shared in this episode has been used with the expressed consent of the individual.
