HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) \u2014 A new mental health facility has opened its doors in Conway, aiming to address the pressing need for mental health resources in the county.<\/p>\n

Ben Greenzweig of Radial Conway<\/a> highlighted the challenges faced by the community.<\/p>\n

“Mental health care is broken and we’re here to fix that,” Greenzweig said.<\/p>\n

He noted that the rapid population growth in recent years has exacerbated the shortage of mental health resources, which were already insufficient.<\/p>\n

Currently, South Carolina has 16 state run community-based mental health centers and inpatient psychiatric treatment in three state hospitals serving 46 counties. <\/p>\n

The “2024 State of Mental Health in America” <\/a>report ranked South Carolina 49th out of 50 states and D.C. for access to mental health care, a concerning statistic given that at least 20% of South Carolinians have faced a mental health crisis. <\/p>\n

Greenzweig emphasized the facility’s goal.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to help people before they get anywhere near that level of crisis,” Greenzweig said.<\/p>\n

The new facility in Conway offers services targeting anxiety, PTSD, and depression, with innovative technology like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) playing a key role. <\/p>\n

“TMS is an incredibly small helmet that targets the specific circuits in the brain where things like depression and anxiety live.” <\/p>\n

While TMS has been available for years, expanded insurance coverage has made it more accessible. <\/p>\n

In Horry County, the nonprofit Living Water<\/a> provides resources for uninsured individuals to cover the treatment.<\/p>\n

The new facility, located on Main Street in Conway, was welcomed by city leaders, the Conway Chamber of Commerce and the community during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. <\/p>\n
