New Device Offers Non-Invasive Mental Wellness Boost

A novel device called Exomind is revolutionizing mental health treatment in Northwest Ohio. This innovative technology provides a modern approach to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), potentially improving mood and behavior without medication or downtime.

Introducing Exomind

The Exomind system provides an updated version of TMS, a well-established technique. This new device is the first of its kind in Northwest Ohio, located at Health 419, run by Michelle Fuhr, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, focusing on areas related to mood and behavior.

“It goes over the left dorsal lateral pre-frontal cortex is the part of the brain that’s in charge of, like, your moods and behaviors and those types of things, and then it delivers these pulses,”

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately one in five U.S. adults experiences mental illness each year (NIMH 2024).

How Exomind Works

Exomind, which is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder, could potentially assist with memory and behavior regulation. Treatments are drug-free and non-invasive, lasting about 30 minutes. The process involves a gentle tapping sensation from a paddle placed on the head.

Fuhr emphasizes that clinical diagnosis isn’t necessary to experience potential benefits, as Exomind is designed to boost general mental wellness. To learn more, visit Health 419.
