Hello,
I've had great success with TMS for treatment-resistant depression. I first had TMS treatment about six years ago and had my longest remission ever from severe depression. The depression returned this fall, and I completed a second treatment about two months ago, again with success. In this treatment, I started feeling some relief about three weeks into treatment. And it kept improving. I recall the doctor saying it might take until near the end of treatment to get relief. I wish you well on this journey.

Hi!
Thank you so much for replying to my question so quickly. Hearing of your success twice with TMS gives me much hope.
I’m so happy you are doing well and I wish you continued good mental health.
Thank you again for answering my question and for being so kind and compassionate!

Thank you! It is definitely comforting having the support of others who understand .

There’s nothing better, than having support from other people, who have been, or are going through severe depressive illness! It can be so debilitating in many ways, and having even just one person, who has the same diagnosis, understand, is a blessing!

Hi, Pete -
Thank you very much for sharing your TMS therapy experience with me. I’m so very sorry the 2nd round of treatment was not successful. Have you found any other treatment to help you?

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know there were forums here on the topic, but it was recommended to me some time back. I briefly looked into it, and it is intriguing to me. Right now I'm in a good place and not feeling the need to seek a new avenue. But I'm going to keep my hat in this one so if things go south again, I'll have some info to help me make a decision.

ellemccope,
Thanks for your words of kind support.
How well did any Psychiatrists help you if any?
I'm looking for one. A good one is hiding
somewhere in a Haystack.
Stay well.

I’ve had success with psychiatrists here in TX.
