Chicago-based Psychiatrist, Dr. Fabian Carbonell, Debuts Innovative FDA-Cleared Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

CHICAGO, June 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. Fabian Carbonell is the first psychiatrist in Chicago to offer patients with depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder the ability to be treated with BrainsWay's Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) therapy. Deep TMS administers magnetic waves through a cushioned helmet to targeted deep structures of the brain that have a large impact on patients' symptoms.

The treatment is noninvasive with no systemic side effects and requires no hospitalization or anesthesia, allowing patients to resume normal activities, such as driving, immediately following the session. BrainsWay's depression helmet has been cleared by the FDA since 2013. BrainsWay recently received FDA clearance for targeting OCD, making it the first noninvasive medical device cleared to treat OCD and first TMS system to treat multiple mental health conditions.

"When addressing illnesses like Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder it is imperative to be mindful of any advances available for those seeking treatment," said Dr. Fabian Carbonell. "When I first learned about BrainsWay's Deep TMS helmet and the success patients have continued to experience, I became interested in utilizing the technology in my own practice. As caregivers, we need to be agile to ensure that we are giving our patients the highest chance for cessation of symptoms. I believe that BrainsWay's technology will allow me to better serve my community and am thrilled to be able to include this in our treatment options."

Dr. Carbonell serves a variety of patient populations with different psychopathology and offers comprehensive care for most behavioral health ailments.
