What is Anxiety
Anxiety is a multifaceted mental health disorder that manifests through a range of emotional, physical, and cognitive symptoms. Individuals with anxiety may experience persistent worry, fear, and unease, often accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and muscle tension. These symptoms can become chronic and severe, significantly interfering with daily functioning, including work, school, and personal relationships. For those with treatment-resistant anxiety, traditional approaches like medication and psychotherapy may not provide sufficient relief, necessitating the exploration of alternative, innovative treatments.
In response to this need, therapies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Ketamine infusions, and Stellate Ganglion Blocks offer new hope. TMS involves the use of magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in anxiety regulation, without the need for surgery or systemic medication. Ketamine therapy, administered under controlled conditions, provides rapid relief of anxiety symptoms by targeting glutamate receptors in the brain, which differ from those affected by traditional anxiolytics. Additionally, Stellate Ganglion Blocks can help reduce anxiety by modulating the sympathetic nervous system. These treatments represent a personalized approach to managing anxiety, especially when conventional methods prove ineffective.
Symptoms of Anxiety may include:
- Persistent and excessive worry
- Restlessness or feeling on edge
- Fatigue or exhaustion
- Difficulty concentrating or mind going blank
- Racing thoughts or ruminations
- Irritability
- Muscle tension or muscle aches
- Sleep disturbances, such as trouble falling or staying asleep
- Increased heart rate or palpitations
- Shortness of breath or hyperventilation
- Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety
- Difficulty tolerating ordinary social situations
The experienced physicians at Oasis Therapeutics specialize in ketamine infusion therapy, giving you a cutting-edge treatment option to effectively ease the symptoms that don’t go away, even after you try other medications.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells, treating depression and other neurological disorders. It’s non-invasive and targets specific brain areas to alleviate symptoms in patients resistant to conventional treatments.
Oasis Therapeutics advanced Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment involves an injection of anesthetic medication over a specific branch of nerves in your neck called the stellate ganglion.
Magnetic peripheral nerve stimulation (MPNS) is a non-invasive technique used to alleviate chronic pain and improve motor function. It involves applying magnetic fields to peripheral nerves, stimulating them without the need for surgical intervention.
