I don't think I would qualify as having PTSD, even though I am still working through a few small remnants of a trauma that happened over 30 years ago. I also developed depression secondary to autoimmune hypothyroidism after my second child was born. He is now thirty three. Thyroid replacement hormone made no difference in my depression. I struggled for years trying several different meds with varying rates of success, but never feeling fully like myself. I finished 36 TMS treatments about three months ago. I was skeptical. I had ups and downs during treatment. By the 24th to the 28th treatment I felt a massive difference in my clarity of thought, fatigue, and overall general aches and pains. As they decreased the number of treatments I didn't feel as good, but still much better than when I started. I am going to do another round. The Dr that mapped my brain and set the parameters for my treatment told me maintenence is a very real thing that has been and is being researched and they know it works. But most people can't afford to do it and they haven't convinced the insurance companies yet. I can't remember the percentages about people that respond but I will look it up and get back to you. It's encouraging.

@merpreb surely would be encouraging to find some that would work. I have mostly given up on such and do my best to keep from allowing depression to be the victor. I think chronic pain has further enhanced the strength of the depression. Still trudging on.
