FAQ - TMS for Anxiety
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique used to treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders. It involves delivering magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain to modulate neural activity and alleviate symptoms of anxiety.
TMS works by stimulating or inhibiting neural activity in targeted brain regions associated with anxiety, such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) or the amygdala. By modulating neural circuits involved in anxiety, TMS can help reduce symptoms and improve overall well-being.
TMS has shown efficacy in treating various anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety disorder (SAD), panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
During a TMS session for anxiety, a coil is placed on the scalp over the targeted brain region, and magnetic pulses are delivered to stimulate neural activity. Treatment sessions typically last 20-30 minutes and are administered daily or several times per week over several weeks.
TMS has shown promising results in reducing symptoms of anxiety in some individuals, particularly those who have not responded adequately to other treatments. However, there are potential risks and side effects associated with TMS, including headache, scalp discomfort, and rare instances of seizures. It's essential to undergo TMS treatment under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider in a clinical setting.
