NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy is an ideal treatment for adult Albuquerque patients who suffer from major depression with comorbid anxiety. NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy works to help you manage your anxious depression at a neurobiological level, addressing the roots of both depression and anxiety symptoms right at the level of your brain. Unlike medication, it generally does not cause common side effects of medications, and most side effects that do manifest are minor and well-tolerated.
In patients with anxious depression, imbalances or disruptions in key brain regions that regulate mood and anxiety levels are often at play—these dysfunctions are what leads to the development of depressive and anxious symptoms. These brain regions can include the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala.
The prefrontal cortex is responsible for important functions such as decision-making, emotional regulation, and social behavior—and tends to have reduced activity in people with depression. The amygdala, which controls the stress response—especially how you respond to stress—may have impaired functioning in patients with anxiety.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy targets these areas particularly to stimulate brain activity, alleviating depressive and anxious symptoms simultaneously, and leading to improved brain function in these regions.
For individuals in and around Albuquerque with anxious depression who have not seen improvement from medications or other treatments, NeuroStar TMS therapy may be a very promising solution.
