Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions around the world, affecting 301 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

If not properly managed, it can lead to chronic anxiety disorders and depression.

Persistent anxiety is often treated with psychotherapy and medication, although many people do not respond positively to traditional treatment approaches, so they seek alternative therapies.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has shown to be effective for treating many types of anxiety disorders including:

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Panic Disorder
  • Social Anxiety Disorder
  • Anxiety Combined with Depression
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

 

Alyne Wellness utilizes an advanced form of TMS for anxiety, known as PrTMS, that uses dynamic monitoring and personalized EEG assessments for improved outcomes compared to traditional transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Why is TMS Used for Anxiety?

TMS for anxiety offers a safe and non-invasive alternative for individuals who have not found relief using traditional treatment methods.

The most important aspect of TMS Therapy is that it treats the root causes of anxiety in the brain and not just the symptoms like other therapy methods.

TMS works well for treatment-resistant anxiety when medication has not been effective. It does this by directly stimulating targeted areas of the brain associated with anxiety.

It is a non-invasive treatment, which means it does not require anesthesia, surgery, or implants.

Because it does not involve the use of medications for treatment, individuals do not experience unhealthy side effects like dizziness, addiction, or withdrawal.

How Does TMS Therapy Work for Treating Anxiety?

TMS therapy for anxiety uses magnetic pulses to safely stimulate the specific areas of the brain linked to mood, behavior, and anxiety.

During treatment, a magnetic coil is placed over the individual’s scalp that delivers pulses at the optimal frequency to stimulate the brain regions associated with anxiety.

The magnetic pulses modulate and normalize unhealthy brain imbalances that cause anxiety and mood swings.

By rebalancing these regions of the brain, it improves neural connectivity, decreases excitability, and enhances emotional regulation.

PrTMS therapy for anxiety at Alyne Wellness uses an advanced version of TMS that also includes EEG Brain Mapping to review 19 separate areas of the brain for more precise targeting of the areas to stimulate.

We also provide continuous monitoring and adjustment as the sessions progress to fine tune the treatment for optimal results. Learn more about how PrTMS works here.

Benefits of TMS for Anxiety Compared to Other Treatment Methods

TMS for anxiety offers distinct benefits compared to other treatment approaches.

1. No Drug Side Effects

TMS does not have any side effects associated with anti-anxiety meds like weight gain, drowsiness, or memory and cognitive issues, and there is no risk of addiction, withdrawal, or dangerous drug interactions.

2. Non-Invasive Treatment

It is a non-invasive treatment that does not require anesthesia or surgery used in other methods of brain stimulation.

3. Precise Brain Targeting

TMS directly stimulates specific areas of the brain related to anxiety and does not impact other areas of the body affected by anxiety medications.

4. Works When Drugs Fail to Show Improvement

TMS has shown to be an effective alternative for medication-resistant anxiety that occurs when drugs have failed to relive symptoms.

5. Works Quickly

TMS for anxiety often works more quickly than cognitive behavioral therapies or certain medications that can take months before noticing any improvement. Some individuals report decreased symptoms after only a few sessions.

6. Long-Term Improvement

Medications are only effective if a patient continues taking them, and they stop working as soon as they are discontinued. TMS Therapy for anxiety often offers a lasting improvement and reduced symptoms long after treatment has been completed.Maintenance sessions can be performed at any time if necessary.

TMS optimizes and heals the root cause of brain irregularities for long-term recovery, instead of other approaches that only temporarily treat the symptoms and not the cause.

7. No Downtime

PrTMS for anxiety at Alyne Wellness is an outpatient treatment performed in our office. It does not require anesthesia, and normal activities can be resumed after each session.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation for anxiety is an excellent alternative for people who have not responded well to medication or other treatment therapies.

It is a highly targeted method for optimizing the brain and reducing anxiety symptoms quickly without medication side effects.

By treating the causes instead of just addressing the symptoms, it provides lasting relief not found with other treatment methods
