TMS Therapy for Anxious Depression in Arlington
Do you feel sad and unable to experience joy in your daily life? Are you often irritable, tense, and uncomfortable throughout your day? If so, you may have anxious depression – also known as depression with comorbid anxiety – a mental health condition that, if not treated, can put you at a higher risk of suicide and of developing major depressive disorder. The good news is that there are effective treatments for people suffering from anxious depression. If you have tried traditional options like talk therapy and medication, with little success, our Arlington office offers NeuroStar TMS therapy for anxious depression.
What is Anxious Depression?
People suffering from anxious depression, or depression with comorbid anxiety, experience the symptoms of both depression and anxiety. Having these comorbidities simultaneously can perpetuate a vicious cycle, one where your symptoms of depression trigger your anxiety, and vice versa. The way these comorbidities feed off of one another can leave you more prone to having suicidal thoughts and tendencies and eventually developing major depressive disorder. Effectively treating anxious depression is therefore very important in preventing these worsening conditions.
What is TMS Therapy?
NeuroStar TMS therapy, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy, is a non-invasive, non-surgical, and well-tolerated treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain connected to depression and anxiety. Psychiatrists have safely used TMS to treat several mental health conditions, including anxious depression. You can use TMS therapy alone or in conjunction with more traditional therapies to relieve you of your symptoms. NeuroStar TMS is FDA-cleared for anxious depression, along with major depressive disorder and OCD.
How Does TMS Address Anxious Depression?
You can receive TMS therapy comfortably at an office here in Arlington, Virginia on an outpatient basis. In this procedure, you will sit in a comfortable chair where we place a magnetic coil on your head. During the procedure, you will hear clicking sounds and feel tapping sensations as the device delivers magnetic pulses along your scalp. A typical NeuroStar TMS session lasts about 19 minutes. This will occur five times a week over seven weeks.
Anxious depression is a serious condition that can worsen over time if not treated. TMS stimulates the regions of the brain responsible for these symptoms and many patients will find that their condition goes away after the full treatment, sometimes permanently.
