Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. Stress and anxious feelings are a common response when we feel under pressure. These feelings usually pass once the stressful situation has passed.
Anxiety is when anxious feelings don’t go away and may not have a clear cause. If you’re living with anxiety, the anxious feelings may not be easily managed. Anxiety is a serious condition that makes it hard for a person to cope with daily life.
3 million Australians are living with anxiety. Anxiety is the most common mental health condition in Australia. 1 in 4 people will experience anxiety at some stage in their life.
There are many types of anxiety, with a range of signs and symptoms.
Generalised anxiety disorder is when someone feels anxious on most days.
The constant worrying can make it hard to work, study or see friends and family.
Obsessive compulsive disorder is when someone has ongoing unwanted or intrusive thoughts and fears that cause anxiety.
They may use rituals or repetitive behaviours. For example, a fear of germs can lead to constant washing.
Panic attacks are intense, overwhelming and often uncontrollable feelings of anxiety. Physical symptoms can include trouble breathing, chest pain, dizziness and sweating. If someone has repeated panic attacks they may have a panic disorder.
Social anxiety disorder (also called social phobia) is when someone has an intense fear of being criticized, embarrassed or humiliated. This fear can happen even in everyday situations, such as eating in front of others or talking to people.
A specific phobia is when someone feels very scared about a particular object or situation. Common specific phobias are spiders, heights, having an injection or travelling on a plane.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offers a targeted and innovative solution for individuals struggling with anxiety. This non-invasive procedure delivers magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain associated with anxiety disorders, aiming to regulate neural activity and provide relief from distressing symptoms.
The journey begins with a personalized assessment to determine the ideal stimulation dose for each patient’s unique needs. Our trained clinicians and specialists carefully tailor the treatment based on individual anxiety characteristics, ensuring precision and effectiveness.
Once the appropriate placement and stimulation levels are set, targeted impulses are delivered to brain regions linked to anxiety. Patients experience these pulses as brief sensations, without the need for anesthesia. This precise stimulation minimizes side effects while maximizing therapeutic benefits.
A comprehensive TMS treatment plan for anxiety typically includes sessions five times a week over an initial six-week period. This intensive phase is followed by a three-week period of reduced session frequency, promoting long-term relief and well-being.
Our treatment process begins with a thorough assessment, including medical history and symptom evaluation. This allows us to develop a precise, customized treatment plan that addresses both anxiety and any co-occurring conditions for maximum benefit.
Our team of trained clinicians believes in a collaborative approach, prioritizing open communication between patients and our specialists. By aligning treatment with each individual’s goals and preferences, we foster a sense of empowerment and active engagement in the healing process.
Anxiety often coexists with conditions such as depression or substance use disorders. Our comprehensive TMS therapy approach considers these interconnected issues, helping patients achieve lasting recovery and prevent relapses.
Since TMS therapy does not require anaesthesia, medication, or hospitalization, patients remain fully awake and engaged throughout their sessions. This non-invasive and patient-friendly approach enhances the overall treatment experience, making it both effective and empowering.
