Has anyone tried TMS for ocd?
I’m curious if anyone has tried it cuz I read about it and although it’s expensive it seems pretty promising

ERP is the golden standard for OCD. If you can afford it, sure, but it’s still very new.
I tried TMS for OCD for a brief time. I still question whether or not it helped? I ultimately decided to stop.
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
Has anyone had success treating their OCD without medication and solely ERP or non-medicinal methods. I have pretty severe OCD and just about every sub-type, but I’ve been on various meds (SSRI & SNRIs) for going on 8 years and have never found one that truly relieves me of symptoms. I’m looking to see if it’s worth continuing with the side effects I experience (mostly mild) or if there are alternatives that could work for me. Low key tired of constantly changing meds in an attempt to find something that works when maybe medicine isn’t the route for me…
If there was a possibility of curing your ocd, would you be willing to enter an altered state of consciousness? This can be done through breathing meditations, polyvagal therapy and psilocybin mushroom use in a professional and guided setting. It may be a very negative and intense experience and feel worse than any exposure you've ever done for ocd, but if done right, you'll come out ocd free. Would any of you be interested in that?
