What Is Anxiety?
At Genesis TMS, we understand that anxiety is not just “being worried”—it is a neurological condition that disrupts emotional balance, cognitive function, and physical well-being. While it’s normal to feel anxious in response to life stressors, those with an anxiety disorder experience chronic, disproportionate fear, worry, and tension, even when no real threat exists.
Anxiety affects the brain’s electrical activity, often leading to overactivity in regions involved in stress, fear, and emotional regulation. The good news is that, this overactivity can be safely and effectively treated using non-invasive, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at Genesis.
Core Symptoms of Anxiety
Emotional Symptoms
- Excessive worry or dread
- Fear of judgment or embarrassment
- Panic attacks
- Social withdrawal
Cognitive Symptoms
- Racing thoughts, overthinking
- Difficulty concentrating
- Negative looping thoughts
- Catastrophic thinking (“worst-case scenarios”)
Physical Symptoms
- Muscle tension, headaches
- Rapid heartbeat, chest tightness
- Shaking, dizziness, stomach distress
- Fatigue, insomnia
What Causes Anxiety?
Anxiety is rooted in brain dysregulation—often a combination of genetic vulnerability and environmental triggers. Contributing factors include:
- Family history of anxiety or mood disorders
- Prenatal or early childhood trauma
- Controlling or overly protective parenting
- Head injuries or concussions
- Hormonal and metabolic imbalances
- Environmental toxins or mold exposure
- Chronic stress and lifestyle habits (e.g., poor diet, sleep disruption)
At Genesis TMS, we don’t simply ask why you’re anxious. We examine how the brain is functioning and deliver precise neuromodulation to restore calm, clarity, and control.

Why Choose Genesis TMS for Anxiety Treatment?
At Genesis TMS, we use non-invasive, FDA-cleared magnetic stimulation to target the regions of the brain that are overactive in anxiety, particularly areas linked to fear response, rumination, and emotional dysregulation.
Our approach is:
- Non-medication based
- Backed by neuroscience and clinical evidence
- Safe for teens and adults
- Custom-tailored to your unique brain patterns
We do not rely solely on talk therapy or medications. Instead, we use transcranial magnetic pulses to retrain how your brain responds to stress—offering long-lasting, drug-free relief.
Personalized Anxiety Treatment with TMS
Our process includes:
- Clinical Intake & Evaluation – Understanding your history, symptoms, and comorbidities
- EEG Brain Mapping (if requested) – Identifying dysregulated brainwave activity
- TMS Protocol Customization – Targeting regions like the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and anterior cingulate associated with anxiety
- Progress Monitoring – Ongoing clinical tracking of your emotional, cognitive, and physical response
What Happens If Anxiety Is Left Untreated?
Untreated anxiety can lead to:
- Depression and suicidal thoughts
- Substance use and dependency
- Academic and job failure
- Strained relationships and parenting challenges
- Increased physical illness and sleep disturbances
- Panic disorder or agoraphobia
At Genesis, we treat the entire picture—not just one symptom. Our goal is not to mask anxiety but to calm the brain and restore well-being.
Who is affected by Anxiety?
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health condition in the U.S., impacting over 40 million adults each year. Nearly 1 in
3 teenagers also experience clinical anxiety, and the numbers are rising. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to be
diagnosed, though many people of all genders go untreated or misdiagnosed.
