I started TMS last week. I went for 4 days in a row. I felt amazing for 2 days after it. I was unstoppable. But today was difficult again. I start again tomorrow so let’s see what happens. Thanks for the tip about the probiotics and consuming less sugar. That’s a hard one 😂
Am on treatment #17, feel "lighter" for a time after treatment. No headache or skull pain at all. Didn't know about the probiotic. Will ask tomorrow....Do it !!!!
Where tf do you find a TMS clinic that will extend treatment for late responders pro bono ? Everywhere I got they want me to pay like $10k out of pocket. Most people don’t have an extra $10k lying around for spending every 3-6 months
Just discovered your channel. You all give phenomenal info! Thank you. I’m on the east coast so coming to you can’t happen. But your info is very helpful. Thank you.
I wonder if I need a more experienced team for my TMS. I have had 25 sessions and truly don’t feel much different. There was a hard time finding my point of stimulation and I just don’t feel much better to keep going. The promise of wait and hold on is getting weaker and weaker. This past weekend I felt worse and in tears for two days
Forget TMS and get to ECT, best treatment for depression to date, even they probably work by same mechanims. ECT really hits your whole brain (and body)
@@bogse Trying the most least invasive first. ECT has more serious side effects than TMS and Ketamine Therapy. I will start small first. It worked before with TMS and praying it gets better.
@@LadyJpraise2024unbound Of course try what you and you doc seem to be best option. I think ECT is badly misunderstood. It basically has no side-effects execpt short time short-term memory problem which is "nothing". Brain is all about electricity and neurotransmitter, nothing else. Drugs affect NM´s but it is the most unnatural way to affects your brain and 100% will alter your chemistry to worse after you have to eat them until death or slowly taper off. When doc is deciding what drug should be tested he is basically tossing a coin and it will never be known what caused you to go better or worse. TMS and ECT go natural way, Ketamine is very strong dissociating drug, I consider msuhrooms much safer and better way.
@@bogseI love that ECT works for you and many others!! ECT helped me rationalize and gave me the ability to look at life’s negatives and find the positivity that would otherwise be like trying to find a diamond in the rough. Before I start this off, I want to give a TLDR; patients who are considering ECT, please heavily research ECT and its effects on memory. Although ECT gave me better insight, I’m one of the underrepresented patients that have experienced a serious negative side effect. ECT has significantly ruined my memory and has made aspects of life that are tied to the ability of memorization a bit of a challenge. Backstory: I was hospitalized 3 times in the span of a year and a half for SI/attempts. In the last hospitalization, I was given the option to begin ECT. I had never heard of it before but I was desperate to get better for my family’s sake. I wasn’t able to research it as I had no access to a phone or computer in the mental health facility. Before I began my treatment, I had always been told that I had the best memory out of my entire family. I was able to vividly remember specific details, as specific as dates, time, and certain scents and sounds. While ECT helped me open my mind to positivity, it also stripped away one of my favorite things: my memory. I was left with amnesia as it literally erased an entire year of my memory. I now have a difficult time remembering important details, such as learning new tasks at work and school. The hardest part is that I now have a hard time remembering sentimental memories like my wedding and happy moments in childhood. Today, I struggle with remembering the most basic things and have even resorted to taking pictures of every positive moment because I’m terrified that I won’t remember it tomorrow or in the future. I take pictures to help me understand the significance of each moment. I used to be praised by my family for excellent memory and now I’m picked on by family members for living life behind the lens of a camera instead of in the moment. I promise I’m not trying to dog on your experience and I’m thankful that it provides emergency help to those who desperately need it but I feel that people should be aware of the ugly side effects involved that aren’t blatantly mentioned and are often in fine print upon signing consent forms for ECT treatment. Upon sharing my experience, I’ve had multiple doctors open up about how many times they’ve heard my story throughout their career and how evidence is rampantly underreported. I just hope that future patients find the best mental health services for them but we all need to do our research and ask questions to be informed and aware. Very sorry about the novel! If you’ve read this far, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, lol. For real though, I wish you nothing but the best in life and I also wish you the happiest memories that outweigh the obstacles that life throws at us.
Hi, I am thinking about what to watch or listening during the TMS session. I think it matters as it effects what you are thinking meanwhile. Am trying to think of something along the line of positive affirmation or relaxation .... ?
I’m 55 and I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I can function well enough to get by most of the time using drugs, counseling, exercise, diet and other interventions. It’s a delicate balance and I still fall into periods of major depression frequently. In a good year I’ll only have one or two. My primary care doctor just suggested TMS. I’m trying to decide. I’m in the US, so access to any care means fighting an insurance company. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the fight. My biggest fear is that I’ll achieve partial success or that I’ll see improvement only to have it snatched away because the insurance company doesn’t cover follow up treatments.

Maybe go to Success TMS. I'm in the east and found a place 30 minutes from me.
There are definitely lots of centers on the east coast. We’re in Maryland and there are lots of options here.
An informative video.

I have the same fear. That I'll fall into that 20 percent that isn't helped. Hang in there. Hoping for the best for you.

Can someone who had spinal fusion at C5/6 nine months ago, have TMS?
Where can i buy one
Is tms a safe treatment or not? Because many people makes depression worse!! I think is not really perfect treatment, i m disappointed!!
I was in the same boat. Didn’t work and I have memory issues since then. I just finished last march. Not as bad as ect but wouldn’t recommend
I start 40 rounds of TMS next month. I’m hopeful but also keeping my expectations realistic. Thanks for the information!
How has your treatment been?
@@erikalynch781 unfortunately I didn’t see any noticeable difference but I still highly recommend everyone trying it at least once!
How much? Ty
