Get Relief From Anxiety with Alpha-Stim®

Anxiety disorder affects approximately 40 million adults in America today.

Everyone feels anxious from time to time — like when you’re running late or interviewing for a job. People with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), however, feel some anxiety or worry almost constantly.

They often anticipate disaster or have exaggerated worries about a wide range of issues, from their health to their families to their daily responsibilities. Yet even when they recognize that the worrying is excessive, it is hard to control.

GAD affects their body, too. In fact, many people with generalized anxiety disorder visit their doctor with problems — like sleep troubles or muscle aches — without realizing these are common symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder.

About 5% of U.S. adults experience generalized anxiety disorder at some point during their lifetime, and about 3% have it in any given year.

Don’t let an Anxiety Disorder control your life!

What Causes Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

The exact cause of GAD is not fully known, but a number of factors — including genetics, brain chemistry and environmental stresses — appear to contribute to its development.

• Genetics: Some research suggests that family history plays a part in increasing the likelihood that a person will develop GAD. This means that the tendency to develop GAD may be passed on in families.
• Brain chemistry: GAD has been associated with abnormal levels of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are special chemical messengers that help move information from nerve cell to nerve cell. If the neurotransmitters are out of balance, messages cannot get through the brain properly. This can alter the way the brain reacts in certain situations, leading to anxiety.
• Environmental factors: Trauma and stressful events, such as abuse, the death of a loved one, divorce, changing jobs or schools, may lead to GAD. GAD also may become worse during periods of stress. The use of and withdrawal from addictive substances, including alcohol, caffeine and nicotine, can also worsen anxiety.

How Common Is Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

About 4 million adult Americans suffer from GAD during the course of a year. It most often begins in childhood or adolescence, but can begin in adulthood. It is more common in women than in men.

I am in the US Army and I have had the SCS Alpha-Stim model for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Anxiety/Depression. During the trial period it was very effective. I started to feel better about myself and started doing things at home that i have had a hard time doing. One day my truck burned up and the Aplha-Stim went with it. At that time I realized how much it helped me because now I do not have it and I regressed into a state of exclusion where I stay in my house not wanting to leave. My depression and anxiety returned. My Insurance would not cover the cost so the military did. When i got my new Alpha-Stim, I felt a lot better again and I was able to go outside again.
