According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), 40 million Americans 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population, suffer from an anxiety disorder every year. Those with anxiety disorders are three to five times more likely to visit the doctor and six times more likely to be hospitalized for a psychiatric condition than those without anxiety disorders.
While it is normal to feel stressed at times, anxiety (or Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD) should not be ignored because it impacts our social lives and physical health. TMS is applied to the right side of the brain, which is overly active in anxiety patients. It is well received by patients.
Those with anxiety may feel restless, irritable, distracted, or unable to relax.
In addition, those with anxiety may experience headaches or dizziness, tiredness, insomnia, palpitations, shortness of breath, trembling or shaking, excessive sweating, nausea, or stomach pain.
