Living with both depression and anxiety at the same time, known as anxious depression, can greatly affect your daily life and overall well-being. While medication can be useful in managing your symptoms, it may not be the best fit for everyone. This is where transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy can make a difference.

Anxious depression is a type of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) that combines symptoms of both depression and anxiety. If you have anxious depression, you may feel persistent sadness, hopelessness, and low energy—these are common symptoms of depression. At the same time, you might also experience heightened worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, insomnia, and irritability, which are typical symptoms of anxiety.
Living with anxious depression can present various challenges in your daily life. Persistent sadness and low energy can make everyday tasks difficult, and your worries may become overwhelming, which can lead to heightened anxiety and restlessness. Your concentration and focus may be affected, which can impact your ability to make decisions. You might also experience physical symptoms, such as muscle tension and fatigue, which can add to your discomfort. Additionally, social interactions may feel daunting, which can result in isolation and a sense of disconnect from others.
Traditional treatments for anxious depression, such as medication and therapy, do not always work for everyone. If this resonates with you, consider NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy to manage your anxious depression. This treatment involves just 36 daily sessions with us at Beautiful Minds Medical in Auburn and could offer an effective way to manage your symptoms.
If you have anxious depression, you may experience reduced brain activity in specific areas that regulate mood, emotion, and behavior. This can lead to symptoms such as low energy, a lack of interest in social activities, excessive worrying, difficulty concentrating, and trouble managing your emotions.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy directly targets these areas of your brain to stimulate brain activity. It uses safe electromagnetic pulses to activate your brain cells, enhancing their function and helping you regulate your emotions and improve your mood. This therapy can enhance your desire for social engagement and reduce the number of days you feel depressed. Over time, NeuroStar trains your brain to manage symptoms of anxious depression on its own.
