Medical Center Intermedica offers the most advanced treatment for depression, bipolar affective disorder, anxiety disorders (panic disorder, generalized anxiety, phobias, stress-related disorders, somatoform disorders, dissociative disorders), obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, dementia, addictions.
Medical Center Intermedica offers its patients medication and non-medication methods of treatment.
The medical center is equipped with the state-of-the-art transcranial magnetic stimulation device that allows alternative medical therapy, thus avoiding severe drug combinations. At the same time, the method allows for the augmentation of the effect of the administered medicaments.
Studies in recent years have shown that this method of treating depression is more effective than medicament treatment for first-time treatment patients.
Its efficacy on patients with chronic or recurrent depression is commensurate with that of conventional drug therapy and increases efficacy in parallel with antidepressants, and helps in tightened and resistant cases not responding to drug therapy.
This highly innovative treatment is also proven to be an anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, somatoform disorders, some dementia as a concomitant therapy for resistant hallucinosis in schizophrenia, tinnitus, headache, insomnia, some neurological diseases …
The method is distinguished by excellent tolerance, safety, without side effects that are expressed.
Intermedica Medical Center has the option of applying Transcranial Constant Current Stimulation (tDCS).
Transientaneous direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a modern, portable, non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that uses low-intensity direct current to modulate brain activity in certain areas of the cortex. Root is the outermost layer of the brain that plays a key role in memory, attention, knowledge, language, and consciousness.
The effects of the application of transcranial DC stimulation continue months after the end of therapy indicating that the benefits attributed to (tDCS) are mediated to a certain extent by neuroplasticity or the ability of the brain to reorganize neuronal connections by increasing the synaptic plasticity, which in turn is the cellular expression of the cognitive process. Numerous studies have shown that the method can be a valuable tool for the treatment of some neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain (migraine, fibromyalgia) Several studies have also reported cognitive improvement in some patients undergoing (tDCS). The effectiveness of the method is still being investigated in diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, addiction, epilepsy and motor rehabilitation.
The method is innovative, easy and convenient to use in ambulatory conditions and without serious side effects.
