Mood and Stress Concerns

Whole-Person Mental Wellness in West Bloomfield

Mood and stress concerns affect nearly every aspect of life, from your relationships and energy levels to your ability to sleep, work, or enjoy daily moments. Whether it shows up as persistent sadness, racing thoughts, irritability, or emotional numbness, these struggles are real, and you’re not alone.

At Michigan Med Spa and Michigan Spine and Pain, we support women and men navigating the emotional challenges of life, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and anger-related concerns. Our physician-led team offers Exomind, an advanced, drug-free therapy using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to help rebalance your brain and restore emotional clarity.

If you’re looking for an effective treatment without medication side effects, book a consultation at our West Bloomfield location to learn how we can help.

Understanding Mood and Stress Concerns

Mood and stress-related concerns aren’t signs of weakness. They’re complex responses to internal and external pressures. They can emerge gradually or suddenly, and their intensity may range from mild to debilitating. At Michigan Med Spa and Michigan Spine and Pain, we see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis, and tailor care to meet your emotional, physical, and mental health needs.

Depression

Depression is more than just feeling down. It can sap your motivation, disrupt your sleep, and create a heavy, persistent fog that makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming. You may experience symptoms of depression like fatigue, low self-worth, appetite changes, or hopelessness.

Depression can be major depressive disorder (MDD), moderate depression, or seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Some people don’t respond to SSRIs or antidepressant medications—a condition called treatment-resistant depression.

Anxiety

Anxiety disorders often present as constant worry, restlessness, racing thoughts, or physical symptoms like rapid heartbeat or sweating. Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety can interfere with your daily life and mental well-being, even if others can’t always see it.

PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after experiencing or witnessing trauma. It can cause flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance behaviors, and emotional detachment. Many people silently carry PTSD for years before seeking help.

OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to relieve anxiety. This cycle can become exhausting and interfere with relationships, work, and daily tasks.

Anger and Emotional Dysregulation

Persistent anger, irritability, or emotional outbursts may indicate deeper emotional imbalance. These may relate to past trauma, unprocessed stress, or mood disorders. You may feel like your reactions don’t match the situation—or that your emotions are constantly just beneath the surface.

These conditions are more common than you might think, and they’re highly treatable. Exomind TMS offers a promising, evidence-based solution for those ready to take a new step toward recovery.

What Causes Mood and Stress Issues?

Mood and emotional health are shaped by a combination of factors, including:

  • Brain chemistry: Low levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin can affect how the brain regulates mood and stress responses.

  • Genetics and family history: You may be more prone to depression, anxiety, or OCD if a family member has struggled with similar conditions.

  • Life events: Grief, trauma, abuse, divorce, or chronic stress can trigger or worsen symptoms.

  • Hormonal shifts: Menopause, postpartum changes, or thyroid imbalances may impact mental health and energy levels.

  • Physical health: Conditions like chronic pain, blood sugar imbalances, or high blood pressure can contribute to mental distress.

  • Lifestyle habits: Poor sleep, substance use, lack of regular exercise, or poor nutrition can all influence emotional resilience.

  • Medication side effects: Some people experience worsening mood from antidepressants, SSRI medications, or other prescriptions.

How Exomind Can Help

Exomind is a state-of-the-art transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy offered at Michigan Med Spa and Michigan Spine and Pain. This FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, cognitive clarity, and emotional balance.

While traditional antidepressants and talk therapy work for some, many people are left searching for alternatives. Exomind provides a drug-free, outpatient, and evidence-based treatment that can stand alone or enhance existing therapies. During a session, you lie comfortably while the Exomind device delivers stimulation to the targeted brain regions. 

Benefits of Exomind

  • Reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety

  • Improved sleep and energy levels

  • Clearer thinking and reduced brain fog

  • Less emotional reactivity or irritability

  • Enhanced stress tolerance and calm

  • No downtime, pain, or cognitive side effects

  • Effective even in treatment-resistant depression

  • Safe alternative to ECT or medications

  • Can be combined with other treatment options, including therapy

Exomind is FDA-approved for the treatment of major depression that hasn’t responded to antidepressant medication. In Canada, it’s additionally approved for symptom reduction of anxiety-related depression and supporting the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and binge eating disorder.

Other Solutions to Explore

In addition to Exomind, several other treatment options may support emotional wellness. These can be used alongside TMS or as standalone approaches depending on your needs:

  • Psychotherapy & Talk Therapy: Working with a mental health professional using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) or DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) can help you reframe thoughts and build emotional regulation skills.

  • Lifestyle changes: Improving sleep, engaging in regular exercise, practicing mindfulness, or reducing alcohol and caffeine can enhance mood stability.

  • Nutritional supplements: St. John’s wort, omega-3 fatty acids, and other herbal supplements may offer some benefit when used under a provider’s guidance.

  • Light therapy: Especially effective for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), this treatment mimics natural sunlight to regulate circadian rhythms.

  • Acupuncture: May relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by rebalancing the body’s energy systems.

  • Ketamine therapy: An emerging option in psychiatry for major depression, often used when other treatments have failed.

  • Support groups: Whether in-person or virtual, these communities provide connection, shared experiences, and encouragement.

Your healthcare provider at Michigan Med Spa or Michigan Spine and Pain can help you determine the right combination of tools to create a personalized, sustainable treatment plan.
