What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than temporary worry—it’s a persistent, excessive fear that can interfere with daily activities. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, and other types all have unique symptoms, but they share common threads:
-
Restlessness or nervousness
-
Excessive worry or overthinking
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Physical symptoms (sweating, rapid heart rate)
-
Avoidance of triggering situations
Advanced Treatment Options for Anxiety
Ketamine Infusion Therapy - Ketamine works differently than traditional anxiety medications by rapidly modulating glutamate in the brain. Many patients experience reduced anxiety and improved emotional regulation within hours to days.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) - TMS is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that targets brain circuits linked to anxiety. Studies show TMS can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms, especially in those with co-occurring depression.
