Advancing Oceanside: Mental Health Awareness Dr. Chaudhri, CalTMS

OCEANSIDE, CA — This week's episode of the Advancing Oceanside Podcast from the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce features host Hana Gilbert interviewing Dr. Chaudhri a practicing psychiatrist in the greater San Diego Area and one of a select few providers in San Diego offering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for patients with major depression.

Before we get too much into detail, this interview does include information on depression, its causes and various treatments which may trigger an emotional response in some audience members. As a reminder, if you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm, please seek immediate help and call 911. People in a state of crisis are also encouraged to call the 24-Hour Crisis Center Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK.

Known in North County as CalTMS, the California Medical Behavioral Health specializes in anxiety and depression treatment using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a non-invasive, non-systemic, non-drug treatment for depression. TMS Therapy uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to the magnetic field produced by an MRI machine, to stimulate the under-active area of your brain thought to control mood. Dr. Chaudhri goes into detail regarding how TMS therapy works and the supporting research behind the treatment’s success. This interview is meant to share an alternative method to treating depression and any of the doctors at CalTMS would be happy to discuss if TMS therapy is right for you. So, without further ado, Dr. Chaudri.
