Are Depression and Anxiety Related?

Depression and anxiety often occur together, but why? Learn how brain wave patterns and TMS therapy help address both conditions at Reign-Bow Brain Treatment Center.

Depression and anxiety are two of the most common mental health conditions, and research shows they’re often deeply connected. In fact, studies from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reveal that nearly half of individuals diagnosed with depression also experience anxiety. While depression is often associated with persistent sadness, fatigue, and loss of motivation, anxiety tends to cause racing thoughts, restlessness, and tension. Though their symptoms differ, both conditions share similar roots within the brain’s communication networks.

At Reign-Bow Brain Treatment Center, we use qEEG brain mapping to identify where those networks may be misfiring. Depression often correlates with underactive brain regions—particularly in the prefrontal cortex—while anxiety stems from overactivity in areas that control fear and worry, like the amygdala. When these patterns overlap, people can feel emotionally drained yet mentally overstimulated. That’s why traditional treatments may not always bring full relief.

Our innovative approach uses Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to rebalance these brainwave patterns naturally. These non-invasive therapies use gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate or calm specific regions of the brain. Guided by your unique qEEG map, we customize each session to help restore healthy communication between neural circuits responsible for mood regulation, focus, and emotional control.

Many of our patients report feeling clearer, calmer, and more emotionally stable after treatment—even when other therapies or medications haven’t worked. By addressing the brain itself, we’re not just treating symptoms; we’re correcting the underlying imbalance.

If you or a loved one is struggling with both depression and anxiety, Reign-Bow Brain Treatment Center can help. Schedule your personalized brain-mapping consultation today and discover how targeted neuro-therapy can bring your mind back into balance.
