Has anyone tried rTMS for severe anxiety issues such as social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks with any success ? I heard it works for depression, but is it also effective for anxiety ?

Hello Mike, I am in the process of doing the bilateral treatment right now. The anxiety treatment is not covered by insurance most of the time but I feel like it will be in the future. I believe my depression makes my anxiety worse so the depression treatment should help me overcome my anxiety as well.

I am on treatment 6 out of 30. 1/5 of the way there. I will let you know how it helps my anxiety. :)

Hi everybody, I am in the process of doing the bilateral treatment right now too.
Yoga and practical psychology helped me with social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks much faster. By the way, I was constantly at risk to get depressed because of the lack of purpose in life, and the wrong perception of the world (thanks to Victor Frankl).
