Depression treatment was just the beginning. In this episode, discover how TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is revolutionizing care for anxiety disorders affecting 40 million Americans annually, chronic insomnia that raises dementia risk, and PTSD that keeps veterans and trauma survivors trapped in hypervigilance. Dr. Georgine Nanos reveals the neuroscience behind why TMS works across multiple conditions: by strengthening the prefrontal cortex's regulatory control over deeper brain structures like the amygdala and thalamus. Unlike medications that sedate or suppress, TMS enhances the brain's natural capacity for emotional regulation, sleep-wake balance, and trauma processing. Learn about the groundbreaking One-Day TMS Protocol that KIND TMS pioneered - compressing six weeks of treatment into a single transformative day. With over 75% anxiety remission rates, restored natural sleep architecture, and PTSD patients reclaiming their lives, this episode demonstrates that better mental health treatment isn't just possible - it's here.
