Anxiety Treatments

  • TMS is not yet FDA-approved for anxiety, but there is strong research that suggests that TMS is a safe and effective treatment for anxiety. Unlike traditional anxiety medication such as benzodiazepines, TMS will not leave one sedated, confused, or physiologically dependent. One study by Bystritsky et al. (2008) examined right-side TMS for anxiety. The study showed that TMS was able to successfully reduce symptoms of anxiety by over 50% in 60% of participants. Additionally, a follow-up study reported that anxiety remained lowered after 6 months. Additionally, a study in 2016 by Kimberly Cress reported that TMS “shows significant promise for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder.” Cirillo et al. reiterated that “TMS may be an effective treatment for GAD and PTSD” in a 2019 meta-analysis.

  • Ketamine infusions are another option for anxiety treatment for those who have not responded to traditional evidence-based talk therapy methods. Ketamine infusions are not yet FDA-approved for anxiety, but the research is very promising. While much of the newer research on Ketamine has been looking at depression, there have been studies that have examined the effectiveness of Ketamine for anxiety. For instance, Glue et al. (2017) examined the dose-response relationship of Ketamine in 12 individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and found that 10/12 of those individuals experienced a significant reduction of symptoms after Ketamine within just one hour. Taylor et al. (2017) also conducted a randomized controlled trial to look at Ketamine specifically for social anxiety disorder. He found that Ketamine performed significantly better than placebo, with the anxiolytic effects lasting for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.

  • There is a wide range of treatment options for anxiety. Eterne Wellness begins with a comprehensive evaluation to learn about your symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health. Then, after they diagnose your condition and understand your needs, they create a personalized treatment plan to relieve your symptoms and help you manage your negative thoughts.

    The conventional treatment for anxiety is a combination of medication and therapy. Anti-anxiety drugs or antidepressants should relieve your symptoms so that you can focus on exploring and resolving your fears and developing coping strategies in therapy.

    However, medication doesn’t always work the way it’s expected to, or you might experience intolerable side effects. Eterne Wellness offers alternative treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), neurofeedback, and ketamine infusions to alleviate anxiety. If anxiety is disrupting your quality of life, call Eterne Wellness or request a consultation online today.

  • "TMS literally saved my life."

    “I went from not being able to function and at the end of my rope to feeling like I did when I was a little kid. As if a dark cloud has been lifted.

    I tried everything doctors recommended, meds, lifestyle changes, therapy and nothing stuck. Judith (Chero) saved my and my brothers life with this treatment. I went from the end of my rope to depression free (without anymore meds!!)."


    -Anna Newton

  • "They treats the patient holistically, not just symptoms. "

    ‘Judith administered TMS treatment in 2022. I returned for a maintenance round and both times the treatment was successful. TMS helped me with depression and anxiety. Judith is a great listener and her advice is solid. She treats the patient holistically, not just symptoms. Thank you Judith!”
    -Nikki G.

  • "I would recommend it to anyone."

    “Such an amazing experience. Judith was so knowledgeable about TMS, and so thorough in making sure placement was correct, there was little discomfort, and constantly checking in on how I was doing. She truly cares about her patients and their success in seeing improvement through TMS. She is very intuitive, and makes necessary adjustments. Such a lovely person and I valued every minute I was able to learn from her and receive her advice on making sure this treatment was successful. The treatment is life changing. I’ve been feeling much more upbeat, motivated, and overall happy in my day to day life. I would recommend it to anyone.”

  • "My quality of life has increased immeasurably and miraculously. "

    “I can't express my gratitude to the team at Eterne Wellness - especially Judith! I did my research and really feel I found the best place to receive accelerated TMS in the United States. It was affordable, personable, and the garden in the back was so beautiful to roam around in in-between treatments. My quality of life has increased immeasurably and miraculously. Judith is just a joy and so empathetic! Really knowledgeable too and lets you know how things work. Her enthusiasm lifted me up through a process to treat my (until then) treatment-resistant depression. I really felt I could be open about my struggles and I cried tears of gratitude on the last day - and am welling up now too :) I am so grateful to have accessible mental health care.”

Ketamine

Originally used as a pediatric anesthetic, ketamine has shown to be an effective drug for fighting depression. Ketamine works differently in your brain than other antidepressant medications. Conventional antidepressants such as SSRIs have to build up in your system to change your brain chemistry.

TMS

TMS therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to those of an MRI machine—to awaken parts of the brain underactive in people who suffer from depression and anxiety.

Medication management, IV fluids and more

We offer medication management, IV treatments, and more to feel like yourself again and get on the right track.

Anxiety FAQs

  • In addition to your fears and worries, anxiety can manifest in a variety of disruptive symptoms.

    -Sweating

    -Trembling

    -Heart palpitations

    -Rapid breathing

    -Nausea

    -Insomnia

    -Reduced concentration

    -Avoidance behaviors

    Anxiety and depression often co-occur, so you may also struggle with feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness. Even if you experience some of the physical symptoms of anxiety, realize that anxiety is really an issue in the brain. Areas of the brain, such as the amygdala, trigger an individual’s “fight or flight” response by releasing a chemical called cortisol, which causes the rest of the body to engage a system of arousal called the sympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is engaged today, individuals may feel the same thing that our ancestors felt in the wild when we ran from predators. By targeting areas of the brain that control the sympathetic nervous system, we can keep the symptoms of anxiety at bay.

  • Anxiety as an emotion is part of our natural evolutionary fight or flight response to danger. Excessive anxiety, however, is related to a complex combination of biological and environmental factors. Some of the possible causes and contributors to anxiety disorders include:

    ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS

    factors such as work, family issues, or problems in relationships can contribute to or trigger anxiety.

    GENETICS

    Individuals with family members who have an anxiety disorder are more likely to experience one.

    MEDICAL RISK FACTORS

    Some diseases or medications can come with anxiety-inducing symptoms.

    BRAIN CHEMISTRY

    Many anxiety disorders are related to imbalances of neurotransmitters within the brain.

    SUBSTANCE ABUSE

    Withdrawal from various illicit substances can induce or worsen anxiety.

  • Everyone feels stressed or worried from time to time. However, if your fears and nervousness are interfering with your ability to function, or are affecting your overall quality of life, it’s time to get help. Anxiety can affect anyone, and if you’re concerned about your mental health, the first step in getting better is talking to a professional.
