What is anxiety?

Anxiety causes intense, excessive, and persistent worries. Often, these sudden, intense feelings escalate into panic attacks, leaving you feeling out of control and helpless. Anxiety disorders interfere with your daily life and can lead you to avoid things you love.

Anxiety is caused by a variety of factors, including your environment, genetics, medical history, and brain chemistry. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) addresses the brain chemistry piece of anxiety. TMS treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate your brain, creating new neural connections and alleviating your intense anxiety.
