Deep TMS Brains Way for Anxious Depression

What Is Anxious Depression?

Anxious depression is a subtype of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) where symptoms of anxiety are highly present, such as:

Persistent worry or restlessness

Fear that something bad is going to happen

Sleep problems, irritability, and racing thoughts

Physical tension, chest tightness, or panic

This form of Depression can be harder to treat—and it often responds less effectively to medication alone.

That’s why a brain-focused, non-invasive solution like BrainsWay Deep TMS® S can make a big difference.

How Deep TMS Treats Anxious Depression

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) is a breakthrough technology that uses magnetic fields to stimulate deeper, broader areas of the brain than standard TMS.

Using the H1 Coil, Deep TMS targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region involved in mood and emotion regulation. By activating this part of the brain, it helps:

Rebalance brain activity in depression

Calm anxiety symptoms

Improve mood, motivation, and sleep

Support long-term emotional stability

An extensive multicenter clinical study showed that patients with anxious depression had significantly higher remission rates with Deep TMS compared to those receiving only standard medication (Levkovitz et al., 2015).
