TMS Therapy for Anxiety

TMS for Anxiety

While substantial strides have been made in treating anxiety disorders, recent advancements have slowed. Similar to depression, standard treatments like medication and therapy can be effective but often come with side effects and limitations. Collectively, anxiety disorders affect more people than depression.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is gaining recognition as an effective treatment for various anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), PTSD, OCD, and Anxious Depression. Although research is ongoing, TMS received FDA approval for treating OCD in 2018. Studies show TMS for GAD achieves response rates of 80-100% and remission rates of 33-85%.

Can TMS Increase Anxiety?

In some cases, anxiety may temporarily worsen at the start of treatment, often signaling progress. This is usually mild and resolves quickly with adjustments to treatment intensity or protocols.

How TMS Addresses Anxiety

TMS uses magnetic pulses to influence brain circuits associated with anxiety. Similar to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), it helps rewire maladaptive thought patterns but achieves results more rapidly. Most patients experience symptom relief within 4-6 weeks.

Off-Label Use and Tailored Treatments

Currently, the FDA has approved TMS for anxiety-related OCD. However, it can also be used off-label for GAD, PTSD, and other anxiety disorders, particularly when they co-occur with depression. Doctor’s Best TMS offers personalized treatment plans and competitive pricing for self-pay patients.
