TMS or ECT treatments: Did they work for you?

Posted by phxlife @phxlife, May 3, 2023

TMS and ECT treatments are very reputable and often used these days by top notch Psychiatrists. I’m wondering if anyone has had either one recently, and did you have it for depression, or another condition? How did they work for you?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. It's supposed to "reset" your brain.

I had 30 TMS treatments couple months ago. ( 5 days a week for 6 weeks) I highly recommend it as it did wonders for me !!! I had deep depression and nothing worked, then my Dr. decided to try the TMS. I thank the Lord he did as it made a world of difference in me.

30 TMS treatments with no success. Dr wants me to do it for 1 more week but I wonder why bother.

Anyone use anti-depressant called Auvelity? After years on Prozac and other meds plus 30 TMS treatments I am severely depressed. Any suggestions out there? Thank you.

I’m sorry to read that your TMS treatments did not work for you. You might ask the doctor about the “strength” of your treatments, as that can make a lot of difference.
God bless ….
