What is an Anxiety Disorder?
Anxiety is one of the most common psychiatric/psychological disorders in our society today.

Treatment for Anxiety
The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for anxiety refractory to standard treatments is an effective and practical option.
It is an outpatient procedure, ensuring that the patient can continue with their daily routine and fulfill their responsibilities.
This treatment has no side effects and works by inhibiting brain nerve cells using magnetic fields.
