Anxiety is a normal part of life: You may feel anxious about a problem at work, before taking a test, or when faced with an important decision. But when that anxiety becomes constant and doesn’t go away or gets worse over time, life can become unbearable.
And many treatment options exist for anxiety disorder, from therapy to medications to various stress-management techniques. However, suppose you’ve tried different anxiety therapies only to find that the results are minimal or absent? In that case, you may have thought you’d have to live with this debilitating anxiety forever.
But there is hope. At BrainStim Centers, we offer a different approach to treating anxiety. It’s called Alpha peak frequency guided TMS. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and lasting.
In essence, TMS uses a magnetic field to stimulate and balance brain function, guided by sophisticated imaging and diagnostics. And we have used it successfully to treat anxiety, particularly when medications haven’t helped or have caused complex side effects.
Depression, also called Major Depressive Disorder or Clinical Depression, can have a variety of symptoms and degrees of severity. These can include:

Most major insurance companies cover the cost of TMS treatment for major depression; however, we often see anxiety coexist with depression. If you have significant anxiety and depression, we can often get you approved for treatment through insurance. However, if you do not meet the insurance requirements, we offer a cash option where you can start treatment very quickly.
We collect patient’s drivers license and insurance cards to run benefits and eligibility to determine what the patient’s financial responsibility would be. Most often its a small copay. At this point, the patient can decide whether they wish to proceed or not. There is no cost to check eligibility and benefits.

TMS can help with anxiety by calming overactive areas of the brain that are linked to anxious thoughts and physical symptoms. These overactive areas can cause rumination, nervousness, poor sleep, and more. TMS works to regulate this activity, helping to alleviate anxious symptoms.
TMS is considered safe. It has been studied extensively and approved by the FDA for nearly 20 years. Our team does a thorough intake to ensure your safety throughout the process.
TMS works by using magnetic impulses to either inhibit overactive areas of the brain or excite underactive areas of the brain. The energy that is emitted stimulates neurons in the brain and can aid in relieving symptoms related to mood, energy, and cognitive function.
Many patients experience no side effects while undergoing TMS. Some patients report having a headache the first few days, which can go away with over-the-counter NSAIDs.
Sessions relatively quick, with many lasting up to about 30 minutes, including set-up and stimulation. Staff will place a tracker on your face, and a coil on your head. You will feel mild to moderate taps on your head that have been described as a "woodpecker" sensation. Our staff aims to be punctual and efficient with your treatment as we know many of our patients can have busy lives.
Every patient is different. Some feel better right away, and some feel better after a few weeks. Your provider/technician will talk more with you about all of the normal reactions.
Insurance will cover the cost of treatment for treatment resistant depression as long as you meet the necessary criteria. Many times we see anxiety coexist with depression. Often we can get our patients approved through depression and also treat them for anxiety at no additional cost. Each insurance company has different acceptance criteria, so please contact our offices so that we can run eligibility and benefits to tell you exactly what your financial obligation would be assuming you qualify for treatment. In the event you would not qualify for insurance, we can help you with either a payment plan or work with a third party called CareCredit with offers interest free payment plans.
