Anxious depression—like many mental health disorders—is a result of lowered brain functioning and activity. In certain regions of the brain— particularly those that regulate and control your mood, emotion, and behavior—patients with anxious depression experience lowered brain activity compared to non-patients. This can cause symptoms of anxious depression, such as excessive fear and worry, as well as difficulty concentrating—along with classic symptoms of depression, such as lowered interest in social activities, depressed mood, and inability to manage emotions—which can be truly devastating. Patients who experience depression and anxiety at the same time typically experience a poorer quality of life compared to patients with only depression or anxiety.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy treats lowered brain function and activity at the source—your brain. NeuroStar, applied by one of our clinical professionals at Pinnacle Behavioral Healthcare, works to physically stimulate areas of the brain that are associated with mood, emotion, and behavior. It uses safe electromagnetic pulses to gently treat these areas, essentially “waking up” the brain and stimulating its activity. As a result, NeuroStar helps you regulate your emotions and mood—helping you experience enhanced mood, enhanced desire for social engagement, and fewer depression days.
What makes NeuroStar a preferred treatment for our Minneapolis patients is that it does not come with any of the systemic side effects that are often experienced with medication. Unlike medication, NeuroStar does not come with symptoms like GI issues, sexual dysfunction, or suicidal ideation. Unlike therapy, NeuroStar is designed to physically treat your symptoms of anxious depression, and it can offer long-lasting results. During your seven-week NeuroStar course, your brain is trained to improve its activity independently—helping you manage your anxiety and depression symptoms independently over time.
NeuroStar Advanced TMS therapy can be a highly effective treatment for patients with anxious depression. It is ideal for patients who are looking for an alternative to medication, therapy, or other treatments. NeuroStar is non-surgical, minimally invasive, safe for qualifying adults and adolescents over the age of 15, and does not come with systemic side effects. Many top insurance companies cover NeuroStar for eligible patients, including Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare.
