Introduction:

In our pursuit to raise awareness about the benefits of TMS Therapy, we dive into the personal experiences for individuals battling depression to illuminate the transformative potential of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain regions non-invasively, providing a promising remedy for treatment-resistant depression, FDA-approved. Our exploration unearthed a diverse array of experiences to convey; from tales of profound metamorphosis, brimming with newfound hope and rekindled joy, to accounts of nuanced improvements in mental well-being. Despite the divergence in outcomes, every individual voiced appreciation for venturing into alternative paths in their journey towards mental health recovery.

Here are their personal experiences:

• I did TMS therapy 6 months ago and it has been a game changer for me (I’m still on all of my meds and I’m okay with that — they seem to work even better.)-UntilYouKnowMe

• “TMS truly helped me. It isn’t a magically cure all. It’s hard to explain but it’s just made the day to day life easier to manage. Decisions are easier to make and the pressure of life isn’t bearing down on me so much.”-justwhyyyyyy13

• “I have been in remission for two years from TMS and I probably had depression for fifty-five years. I wake up joyful, I go to bed joyful. I have normal emotions, I still have the normal irritation, you know, teenagers, you have an irritation but the black hole has gone, there is no black hole, it's not been in my life for two years. “ Desiree

• “It's freeing. I have a far better understanding of the things I want to do, and a better idea of how those things affect my enjoyment of life. I HAVE A MORE OBJECTIVE BENCHMARK. There are colors to my options, whereas before, everything looked shit brown. My decisions feel less like a detached, theoretical battle about "what would a normal, healthy person do?" and more about "What kind of enjoyment would I get out of this?" I'm kind of reeling at the contrast. This is more than I ever expected to get out of this treatment.”-Unknown

• “My clinic did a thorough depression screening on me (it was severe) and insurance approved it. It is 36 treatments long (more or less consecutively) and I’m still tapering off.

  Overall I’d say it was worth it for me, especially since anti-depressant medications don’t work on me. I went from being rated with severe depression to mild depression. Also noteworthy: my anxiety ratings improved as well which I wasn’t counting on. I didn’t really notice a big difference in mood improvement until this week (2 apts left), but it was significant!” -Unknown

• "I have been battling depression since I was in my teens and it has been a huge damper on my life, inclusive with two scuicide attempts. I cut my medication in half! It has changed my life in the sense that I don't get out of bed dreading the day- I truly want to live my life" -Katherine F
