I have been experiencing depression for many years (since 2005) and because of it I am currently unemployed. It wasn’t until I received TMS in 2010 that I finally began to feel relief. I have also received ECT in the past, and experienced some short term memory loss as a result, but still got no relief from my depression.

My doctor recommended TMS to me and I began to read about how it worked. I decided to begin treatments and my insurance company covered it. After about 2 ½ weeks of receiving TMS, I noticed I was no longer feeling depressed. Nothing else I’ve tried really took away my depression in the long term. Now I can enjoy doing the things I used to such as watching TV, reading, walking and playing with my dog.
