Everyone experiences anxiety at some point in their lives, it is a normal part of life. Anxiety disorder is much different from the normal anxiety. Anxiety disorder is characterized by extreme anxiousness, nervousness, not being able to control worrying, which effects the patient’s way of life. There are 4 different types of anxiety disorders: Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic disorder, Specific Phobias, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

 

Using TMS we are able to subside the symptoms of these Anxiety Disorders. Therapy to treat these Anxiety disorders lasts approximately 4 weeks, depending on how well the patient is responding to treatment. The individual treatments last approximately 20 minutes, the patient can drive to the appointment and will be able to drive away afterwards with zero lasting side effects. Where as with some medications the patient would not be allowed to drive because of the side effects of the medications.
