Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy: What's your experience?

Posted by clutch @clutch, Jun 3, 2020

Just started my Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (TMS). Would like to hear from others who have had this experience. Thanks!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Depression & Anxiety Support Group.

Are you positive that your medical insurance won't pay for this, or at least a large percentage of it? I have Medicare and an AARP UnitedHealthCare supplement. And I know that those plans would cover it.

Hello. I have had 2 complete cycles of TMI. Unfortunately, I had no relief from my depression. I know a lot of people have found it very beneficial. Fortunately, my treatment was covered by insurance.

Hi! I have been diagnosed with Treatment Resistant Depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I tried 2 rounds of it and it did not help at all.
