Effects of Anxiety on the Brain

Our environment and the ongoing stressors of daily life can overload the body and cause feelings of nervousness, overwhelm, and even panic.
Severe anxiety and distress can be unhealthy for the brain and body and cause brainwaves to become increasingly abnormal. In most cases, this happens due to overstimulation.

Neural hyperactivity and brainwave irregularity can create stressful responses to incoming stimuli. Some people who are overstimulated experience extreme emotional and even physical discomfort. However, Neurofeedback can normalize brainwaves and is a natural way to relieve anxiety.

Why There is a Need for Another Option

While medications may be useful in the short term, they don’t always fix or even identify the constellation of problems at hand. Pharmaceutical relief from anxiety is often accompanied by unwanted side effects and only lasts as long as the medication is taken. Individuals may develop tolerance to over time and need to try out new medications becomes a cyclical issue in the future.

Standard Anxiety Treatment

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), such as escitalopram oxalate (Lexapro), citalopram (Celexa), and fluoxetine (Prozac), are prescribed for anxiety. SSRIs increase the amount of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the “feel-good” neurotransmitter.

SSRIs are effective in helping a patient “feel better” in the short term, but not “get better.” They do not cure anxiety.

Problems with Anxiety Medication

Medications may be helpful in the short term but do not transform the underlying issue of brainwave dysregulation. In fact, medications may actually increase abnormal brainwave patterns which can lead to worsened symptoms over time.

Anxiety may also be a healthy and appropriate response to life circumstances. Taking medication to “feel better” may prevent people from addressing unresolved concerns and making important life changes.

Overcoming Anxiety

The human brain has an extraordinary ability to reform itself in response to feedback. Neurofeedback harnesses this ability in a way that is proven to help normalize brainwaves and calm hyperactive brain activity.

Because anxiety can be a healthy response to adverse circumstances or unresolved issues in one’s past, Sunshine Neurofeedback may recommend counseling with a skilled mental health provider as an adjunct to neurofeedback therapy.
