About Wake Forest Baptist Health MHS
Wake Forest Baptist Health offers behavioral health services. They’re located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They treat a range of conditions including addiction, eating disorders, OCD and more. They offer family and couples counseling as well as individual psychotherapy. This can help you come to terms with your challenges. You’ll also set recovery goals and have accountability from your therapist.
I find it striking that they also offer electroconvulsive therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
ECT is an option for those who are suffering from severe depression. When nothing else has worked, ECT may be the solution. You'll have various assessments and lab work done to confirm you are a candidate. patients are placed under general anesthesia during the process. This can be performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure.
TMS is a non drug treatment for depression. At Wake Forest, they use a NeuroStar machine. You'll get into a reclined chair and watch TV during treatments. The program gives you 36 sessions over six weeks.
