Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Depression and Anxiety
transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS is a medical procedure where we deliver magnetic fields to the head using an electromagnetic coil.

And these studies do suggest that not only does TMS improve mood and also can alleviate anxiety and treat other conditions like obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD.
