My name is Susan. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother. I have suffered from depression since my high school years; it went undiagnosed until my mid-thirties. At that time I was prescribed one anti-depressant. As time went on it’s effectiveness dwindled. I have since then been prescribed other anti-depressants in varying amounts and combinations with little or no results.
At 57 I found myself taking four anti-depressants, one anti-anxiety pill, one stimulant, and one sleeping pill. My depression went unchanged. I continually suffered from low depression to very low depression; sometimes even suicidal. ECT was suggested to me but I didn’t like the procedure involved or the possibility of memory loss.
I was introduced to TMS at my psychiatrist’s office. I thought maybe, just maybe, this could be the answer to my prayers. TMS has turned my life around. I laugh and love again. I have so much more motivation and my memory has improved tremendously.
TMS has been a true miracle in my life!
Susan,
Are you on any medication for depression now? How long has it been since your TMS treatments ended? Thank you.
