I’ve struggled with depression & anxiety since my early teens.  Over a period of 30 years, I was treated with 21 different medications including those identified through genetic testing.  In spite of medications, therapy and self-learned coping skills, I had to be hospitalized due to suicidal thoughts in January 2017, my psychiatrist recommended TMS.

Within 2 weeks of treatment, I had clear thoughts, improved ability to focus and less irritability.  I was the organized person I once was.  The third week of treatment I noticed a decrease in panic attacks, minimal worrisome and repetitive thoughts, and procrastinated less.  I also began to engage in activities that I once enjoyed.  The fifth week brought along improved cognitive abilities, being able to self-care and have a free flowing conversation.  I was able to actually feel my feelings vs. being emotionally numb.  My spontaneous sense of humor returned and I had no depression or thoughts related to want to end my life.
