Anxiety is a condition that affects your mood, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It’s common among children and adults and sometimes feels crippling when not addressed. The Mindful TMS Neurocare Centers experts are highly skilled in treating anxiety disorders and conditions associated with them, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and panic attacks.
Anxiety symptoms may present as the following:
Anxiety can interfere with your job, schooling, relationships, and overall quality of life. It may even affect your physical health when not treated.
While the cause of anxiety isn’t always known, personal and family histories of anxiety can increase your risk of developing it. Other risk factors include stressful or traumatic life events, brain chemistry changes, physical medical issues, depression, and drug or alcohol misuse.
The Mindful TMS Neurocare Centers experts discuss your symptoms and medical history to get to know you. They ask about past diagnoses, family history of mental health concerns, medications, and more.
A mental health specialist also completes a psychiatric evaluation by asking questions about your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. They create a personalized treatment plan that provides anxiety relief.
The Mindful TMS Neurocare Centers team may suggest transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for your anxiety and one or more other treatments:
Mindful TMS Neurocare Centers specializes in TMS therapy, a treatment that places a coil on your scalp to emit magnetic fields that alter nerve cells in your brain, diminishing bothersome symptoms. You might undergo TMS five days per week for 4-6 weeks to achieve the most benefit. TMS is often effective for reducing anxiety if other treatments have failed.
Reducing stress, eating nutritious foods, getting regular exercise, and having a strong social support network in place may reduce bothersome anxiety symptoms.
Taking medications helps ease fears and other symptoms of anxiety, depression, and additional common mental health issues.
Your Mindful TMS Neurocare Centers specialist may recommend individualized, couples, or family therapy to help you adopt strategies that make coping with anxiety easier.
