TMS for Anxiety and Depression Together

By Counseling & Treatment Center of Utah · 2024-09-17

If your depression comes wrapped in anxiety, you’re not alone — the two occur together far more often than not. The good news: TMS can help with “anxious depression,” even when medication has fallen short.

Why the combination is so common

Depression and anxiety share overlapping brain circuits, which is why so many people experience both at once. Treating only one can leave the other driving your day.

How TMS helps

NeuroStar TMS targets the brain’s mood-regulation network. In clinical outcomes, it not only improves depression but also eases the anxiety that so often rides alongside it — without medication or its side effects.

Frequently asked

Is TMS FDA-cleared for anxiety?

NeuroStar is FDA-cleared for depression (including anxious depression) and OCD. Many people with co-occurring anxiety see it improve as their depression lifts.
