Treatment Resistant Depression: What can I do?

@5148branelly I have been suffering with very severe TRD for over a year. I had regular TMS and did nothing. Do you know where I can get SAINT TMS. I live in Kentucky.

I have been looking into all the different kinds of TMS.... there are SO many.
As far as the SAINT Protocol goes, it appears (from my deep diving) that it is VERY limited because it is all dependent on being called SAINT due to the proprietary rules of the software. There are other options out there that work on similar platforms, TMS being "guided" more but do not use that specific program, so cannot be called SAINT. So, it looks like you'd have to go to California or I think there was a place in Utah ?
After all of my reading, and then a consultation with the Dr., I am going for my 1st TMS treatment at the end of the month. I have chosen to try the 1 Day treatment Protocol. It new and there isn't a lot of information out there on it (in comparison to the Standard or even Accelerated protocol). So far it looks to have reasonable results (70%'ish) in the 1-6week range....a shorter period of time then trying yet another medication. To me it's worth a shot at trying to feel better again.

California which is not helpful but you might call them and ask that very same question. Have you tried Auvelity???
