Looking for a TMS therapy review for depression/anxiety from someone who actually went through the entire two months of treatment? In this NON-sponsored Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation review, I will discuss what the treatment is like and whether or not it helped me with anxiety and depression. I received treatment using the "Deep" version of TMS Therapy which can also help someone with OCD.

I am possibly doing it soon but I am doing it for anxiety and panic attacks mainly.. I'm having second thoughts, did you notice a big change in your anxiety?
@@Hipochacco definitely. I'd say the biggest anxiety improvements were with TMS and constant HRV feedback from the Lief monitor that I'd wear the rest of the day
I was told by a psychiatrist i had anxiety depression. I began to notice prpblem after my coronary artery stent placed last December. After the procedure i still felt mild chest pain and pressure. Heart rate was about 20 beats faster than before. I can't figure out why. Three cardiologists said no cause found. Right after my stent procedure, i found i couldn't fall asleep. My sister took me to a psychiatrist who just gave me 2 antidepressants and sleeping pills. He said my chest pain and palpitation were all caused by my nervousness. In 2 months of medication i just felt the side effects but no improvement. After taking antidepressants i found i could be easily scared by expected sounds. This drove me crazy. I will try TMS coming Monday. I wonder can one recover from emotional issue and insomnia without the root cause of anxiety removed?
I have extreme panic attacks you think this will help
I think it will but it will take time. In the meantime I'd recommend checking out my reviews of Lief and Touchpoints for faster relief. Health Wearables and Tech: th-cam.com/play/PLwvCrQ5q7HJJfpCwKYmONho6uT3XI0rkD.html
TMS saved my life. I was a complete wreck and now (about 2 years later) I have a met a wonderful woman and have an awesome relationship and we have our own home. The TMS does definitely wear off tho. I have noticed some symptoms coming back, especially the energy, so I am looking at doing a new treatment. I'm honestly getting stoked just thinking about it. The energy and outlook change that I got from TMS allowed me to lose 25 lbs and start a side business. My results, as I understand it, are tilted towards the extreme, but I would suggest anyone with recurrent depression give it a shot. It could change EVERYTHING. Keep hope, much love.
That's so awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing. My therapist actually said insurance will cover follow up treatments every 3-4 months or so
I haven't been able to work because of anxiety and panic attacks. Unfortunately I don't have health insurance. I wish I could try this.
The effects didn’t last for me. Only a couple months. Did you have maintenance? And a supplemental antidepressant?
@@JoseFuentes-fn3dl lol
@@zendawging lol
just started it a week ago and holy cow i feel so much better. blown away.
How are you today
Im so excited this will help my daughter. Thank you very much for sharing!!
Update#2 1/25/22 I've still got no anxiety nor do I feel depressed. I am not weepy & am processing feelings appropriately, meaning I'm still feeling sad or angry or happy or excited at an appropriate level. I do not feel like a zombie with zero emotion. I also feel like things that would have caused overwhelming feelings are now fleeting meaning I'm able to feel sad, but it doesn't consume my whole day & I am able to think it through & move on.
Update #1 I've been completely done with treatment for over a week now. I'm feeling great every day. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has been on depression or anxiety meds for a long time with no real success. Yes, I had times where I was feeling good throughout the years, but nothing like this. I'm getting up happy every day, doing crafts again, making daily plans, living life!!
That's super great to hear! 🤩
How much It cost?
I got it through insurance so just copay. It's not cheap otherwise
@@odintalks My copay was $800 but compared to the overall cost that's not bad at all. I have Blue Cross Federal.
@@HRVHackers My copay was $800 but compared to the overall cost that's not bad at all. I have Blue Cross Federal.
My insurance covered it at 100% as preventive care. 13 years of psychiatric intervention 8 failed ssri’s 4 failed anxiety meds, and 3 years of psycho therapy. And a genetic test that eventually showed I couldn’t metabolize ssri’s at all so they weren’t effective. They didn’t have much room to argue with me! Try it people, your insurance might just agree with you
Really glad you got approved by insurance, after so many ineffective ssri's! Which test did you do btw? I did Genomind which I think was useful
But did the treatment help you ??
Did it help you?
When you say you couldn't metabolize meds at all, what do you mean? I haven't ever been able to tolerate antidepressants, however I'm sensitive to many things
How did you find a doctor near you that offers TMS and accepts your insurance?
TMS treatments are not just an annoying "woodpecker tapping on your head."
And no, the level of discomfort does *not* diminish with every session.
I'm just about halfway through my sessions.
I'm not feeling any less discomfort on my head since my first session.
My TMS machine is a Neuro Star machine, which I believe is what most TMS machines are.
Whether I take tylenol or ibuprophen before each session, the level of discomfort is the same.
When I say "discomfort", I do mean some level of actual pain.
My treatments are for 45 minutes, not 20 minutes, so please be aware that this might be the same for you.
Even 20 minute sessions, are in fact, painful.
I have a high level of pain tolerance, and it is...painful....not just "annoying discomfort."
What helps me is talking to the person who is giving me treatments throughout the session, and he is patient with that.
Talking about different subjects *other* than how much this session is hard to get through, is what works for me.
I am committed to finishing every session, and have seen some improvement in my depression and anxiety.
I noticed a very slight difference even after 2 weeks.
Please be aware that your treatment may likely be like mine, and tolerating the pain is part of it.
I appreciate the review and honesty! I've been struggling with depression for years but started only in 2020 with antidepressants. None of them worked or helped ever and I've gone through so many I started to lose hope. My doctor recently recommended we move on to try TMS Therapy so I decided to do research. It's not certain I'll be able to do it I haven't checked with my insurance but I hope it's possible. Been having a rough 2022 so seeing people's honest reviews give me hope.
Hope you get the help that you need! Also, at home ketamine is another more natural alternative I'm considering
I also have no improvement from antidepressants which had even made things worse. I don't discourage others from trying med. I had very bad experience and won't anymore.
Years ago I was a research subject in a clinical trial for TMS. I improved considerably but after a while the results diminished. Still, everyone is different & I really do think it is worth trying. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for sharing! We'll be happy if you keep updating 🙏🏼
My pleasure! Just to be clear, when you say updating, you mean occasional check status posts about how long the results lasted, or something else?
@@HRVHackers yes- how is your anxiety now
Things are still better in terms of anxiety. The problem is I still have a shit ton of food sensitivities which keeps creating a negative feedback loop every time I eat. This increases both anxiety and depression ☹
Very informative. I enjoyed it. Now I am searching for a nice sponcer.
I was feeling hesitant about going through with rTMS after years of depression and anti depressants with no improvements and after covid upgraded to Major Depressive disorder out of nowhere ... after watching this video I am more encouraged to try it out.... I am happy it helped you alot I hope it does the same if not more to me as I am on my final ropes with this painful battle 🙏🏾✊🏾
Hope it helps you! 🙏
Any update?
Had my first TMS treatment at the start of April 2023 (now it's 7/6/2023), after a lifetime of mental health problems, which became disabling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, chronic insomnia, and panic episodes since about 2021. Having tried an endless list of anti-depressents, anti-psychotics, ADHD meds, plus who knows what, I had zero improvement. None of the meds had any positive effects (except Avenza really helped with sleep), while many had bad side effects like massive weight gain (Avenza again), loss of libido, lost focus and memory, nightmares, even psychotic episodes, etc. Basically, I've been given evolving diagnoses [Depression, Anxiety, ADHD (disproven), CPTSD] and treatments with virtually nil improvement. Essentially, I had lost all hope for improvement from medical treatment.
Then, whilst in hospital I was offered ECT but opted for TMS as a first, less intrusive, option. So, I was treated with 30 sessions of left-sided TMS and had no side-effects other than some occassional sleepiness, and really no improvement initially. However, a couple of weeks later I suddenly just 'felt better'. The depression was less intrusive, anxiety noticable reduced, and panic virtually eliminated (it used to be daily). Instead I am finding myself motivated to eat right, excercise, and study towards a better future and an eventual return to real life, having been in an isolation bubble for a couple of years now.
I will never truly know if it was the TMS, but it most certainly was worth having a go. And I'll definetly head back for TMS if symptoms worsen in the future. And to be totally clear, I am not 'cured'. I still have depressive episodes, periods of anxiety and intrusive negative thoughts incl. anger and borderline panic, plus the recurring insomnia that affects everything else. But on balance, the TMS did offer noticable (i.e. signifcant and whorthwhile) improvements and I suggest TMS is worth considering for anyone suffering from treatment resistant mental health disorders.
Hope my experience helps some people looking for options. Best wishes to all.
Thanks for sharing!!
How are you feeling now?
Well... about 2 months ago I started to think like I could do with maintenance set of TMS, and I am currently in the process of looking into that on an outpatient basis, if I can afford it. I think the depression has remained improved, and the panic attacks are well reduced still, but the anxiety is back with a vengence. Mind you, life challanges are playing their part in this also, so its not just TMS or anything I could gauge in isolation. Hoping to do more TMS in the next month and that it'll prove that it wasn't a placebo effect in the first instance. Sorry, I can't give you anything more definitive right now. @@I-can-c-u
@@danilon3121 thank you for your update. I’ve been hoping it wasn’t a placebo effect. I’ve been thinking about ketamine but it seems like the side effects could be negative. But I got to do something soon.
Thank you so much for your review. I'm starting in January and I've having second thoughts because noise really bothers me.
It’s the tapping not the sound that’s annoying, apparently. How are you feeling today?
I’m starting TMS soon for my bipolar depression & anxiety, this is really encouraging to hear! Glad it worked for you!
Did you start the procedure? If so what was your experience like?
How are you today
TMS changed my life!!!
Me too 🤎
I've done deep TMS (Brainsway) for mild depression/imsomnia (mild insomnia) and it works, my sleep went from somewhat crappy sleep all my life to getting a minimal baseline of deep enough sleep, its not super deep, but I wake up pretty refreshed. I noticed the difference within 2 sessions, basically needed no caffeine after that in the morning, I didn't track sleep because you don't need to track anything, b/c the difference is significant. I know it's not cheap but it started working within a few sessions, I did the 36 or so treatment sessions, I came in monthly for maintenance, once or twice a month. Caveat, I didn't see any changes after the first few sessions but idk if there were more longer lasting effects from doing 36 sessions which is about how many sessions are prescribed by most clinicians currently. Interesting fact: I stopped the maintenance sessions for two months and my insomnia is back and now I went back did 2 sessions and got my sleep back. Yes, I paid for it out of pocket to avoid having to take meds so that I can eventually get my insurance to cover it (most insurances don't cover TMS right away, you have to go through a few prescription meds before they will eventually cover TMS). Good luck out there.
Thanks for sharing. Glad it helped!
Thank you for the information
My pleasure! Planning on trying it?
Thanks for sharing! Are you doing follow up treatments? I will be starting my first round of treatments next month and am wondering about maintenance. I have depression and anxiety
Yes, with my insurance I was able to do follow ups after 3 months. It helps as well. I am hoping that once I can get to the bottom of the chronic illness I'm dealing with, the anxiety and depression will go away on its own without the need for further treatments
@@HRVHackers what is maintenance? how many sessions is needed for that? I'm very hopeful. I'm taking my mom for her very first treatment today She has had 3 different remissions from medication in 2 years all severe bouts of depression.One lasting 9 months of depression, 7 months of depression and now this time going on 3 months .
The maintenance sessions were the same amount as the original ones. Good healing to your mom
THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
Welcome!
I hope you don't mind a personal question. Out of all the various modalities you tried for depression, what did you find most effective? I know you ain't a doctor; I am just asking for your personal anecdotal experience. Over 10 years ago, I was a research subject in a clinical trial for TMS. It was probably standard (or repetitive) TMS, not deep TMS. It really did help, but the results fizzled out soon after study ended. I subscribed to your channel probably a year ago & appreciate all your insights on tech tools.
TMS and HRV training with Lief were the most helpful.
Hi, can you be on an antidepressant during treatment? Effexor has helped me a ton with my crippling anxiety and fear, but I am still not where I want to be. Still foggy, forgetful and overall just feel a bit confused. Maybe TMS can help this? Thanks for your video
For me my doctor recommended I stay on antidepressants during the treatment. Wishing you well
I have been looking into this I been on and off so many meds .now I just started celexa and restperdone 1mg at night. I still dont sleep and feel sick cause it .I want to get my zopiclone back but I worry with all these pills.i was stable a few years back on concerta27mg and seroquel 200mg .but the weight gain and issues I had I got 0ff them I hate meds .so do you think this tmt therapy is a good option? Hope its covered in Canada I'm willing to try it at this point.
You can contact the clinic near you and they will screen you to see if you are a good candidate. Wishing you health
Unfortunately in my country (Indonesia), the hospital had a few this tools. But Mental Health case still rise by year 😔
Yes that is unfortunate. In the meantime check out Touchpoints wearable, they are based on EMDR therapy
I've used a tDCS device and it has helped me. It seems a very similar type of therapy to TMS.
Have you ever heard of it working immediately on someone? I had my first session today and I feel so amazing 👏🏼 😌 anxiety and depression gone after one session and I've been dealing with depression for many years.
Ask your doctor can we get complete remission from this or symptoms will come back after how much time ?
It's certainly possible! Let's hope future treatments keep helping as well
Hello! Thanks for the video! I have made some research about the second option the theta burst but I couldn’t find anywhere that it’s only 5 sessions. Is it only 5? Or between 25 and 30 just like the regular TMS? Thanks so so much!
Glad you liked the video! Very few clinics offer the theta burst that replicates what they did at Stanford. Here is one place acaciaclinics.com/
@@HRVHackers thanks so much! I will check the link now! My question was about the sessions, did you mean only 5 sessions or is it also between 25 to 30 like regular TMS? Again thanks for the link!!
@@yousseflahlou9093 when I was looking into it it was 5 days of sessions with very brief sessions packed into those 5 days. That may have changed since then
Son’s starting theta burst , 30 apptments.
Keep us posted supposed to be best version
I am curious to know how long-term the effects are. Is this therapy a better option than ketamine nasal spray or iv drip? After TMS treatment, is the goal to eliminate the need for drugs? Are there any correlations between damage to the brain (memory loss or delay in functioning) and this treatment? Were you able to have insurance cover this treatment? If so which insurance did you use?
Wow that's a lot of questions. I'll just pick one - the goal of TMS is to reduce or eliminate your need for drugs yes
@@HRVHackersVery useless and predictable response to promote TMS. Everyone can easily read what is the goal of TMS on widely promoted advertisings, but really important questions left unanswered.
I am currently on my 3rd session, and I have a very pronounced vein on the upper left side of my forehead. Actually its on the exact mark that was deemed ideal for my depression treatment. Problem is, if the machine is placed on the veins location I experience a massive amount of pain (10/10). A few mm to the side and the pain goes to a 8/10. They tested on my right temple (no veins), and it felt fine.
The doctors dont know what to do in regards to that sensitive spot I have. The thing that bothers me is that I know people have veins in their forehead and I cant be the first to run into this problem. Anyone else experience this and a possible work around?
What about a different type of TMS machine?
I know I’m a year late - but I have pain at my first session and told the tech about it. He shifted the location just a tiny bit and it felt better after that.
Is it covered by insurance? Medical insurance? I’m sure is very expensive
i am havin rTMS is it also effective like deep TMS means do results are same but with rtms results late?
Deep is supposed to be more effective. People have had great results from both kinds though
What parts of the brqin does it treat?
I am resistant of bipolar disorder I did treatment from 2015 when I completing TY chemistry degree due to extra focus I got neuro inflammation and I lost scene of smell after eating food I feeling not eating no sleep insomnia chronic fatigue ocd at the age of 13
Hope you find the help you deserve
@@HRVHackers Thank you sir But any hope for resistant of bipolar disorder I am completely tired and my suicidal thought increases day by day
Oh man, so sorry to hear that. Keep working with your specialists and psychiatrists hopefully something will work. Also here are international suicide prevention hotlines www.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines
@@HRVHackers Thank you sir I not want die like a coward I want take part any clinical trials of resistant of bipolar disorder
I'm bipolar and suicidal. I just want it to end. I really hope something like this could help me.

@SmithBrotha i pray you are still here and have gotten the help you need brotha.
I was so scared to try it, why if it doesn’t work, what if I get worse. I start next week and I’m so hopeful!
Good odds that it will help. Wishing you the best!
how was it ? 🌸
@@katharinamuller4907 So Far So good. It's only been about 7 days of treatment. It's absolutely weird but Im hopeful!
@@StreetLore update? What type are you doing?
Any updates?
Thanks. How well do you sleep before treatment? insomnia?
I slept OK. The main issue I had before and after treatment was the one time per night wake up. Then sometimes it's hard to go back to sleep.
@@HRVHackers i lost the ability to fall asleep since early January this year. Really delibiltating mind and body. I will try my first TMS coming Monday. I hope it helps. Also hope you will get better sleep.
Oh wow, so sorry to hear that. Can I ask what your pre-sleep routine is? Have you tried any supplements?
Also diet plays a huge role in everything. What diet do you follow?
@@HRVHackers i also try best to eat as basic as possible. I don't follow keto as i have cardiovascular issue.
I’m fixing to start this next week and I am scared that this won’t work
Think positive it's better than thinking negative
I'm struggling to differentiate between depression/anxiety and mood. Can you elaborate?
Personally I like to think of mood as a transient thing that can change often. Depression is a more permanent state of your mental health where say you feel down pretty much all day and night. Anxiety is when you are in a never ending state of worry, say about your future.HTH
@@HRVHackers hi does tms help with anxiety physical symptoms
It did for me!
Can we get complete remission from tms ? Follow up session is necessary bcz here in india they provide tms therapy only one time ?
It's very individual. You have to try the treatment and see how it goes for you
@@HRVHackers okay thanks 👍
Has anyone tried peptides for TMS or any mental health issues?
I've heard people lose decades of memories after TMS therapy. It it true? If yes, then what are the merits and demerits of losing decades of memories or traumatic past.
I haven't heard of this. Can you link to a reliable source please?
I checked with my psych about your question, he said he hasn't heard of this happening. He said it's more possible for it to happen with a related therapy called ECT and that people confuse the Therapies sometimes
I think you are confused with electric shock therapy ECT
Hahaha if that’s true I WANT IT !!! 😂😂😂 I want those years of trauma gone !
I know, right?😅
I’m so frustrated with my TMS treatment because it’s been very painful. I just finished session 10. I can barely stand it. I’m 66 and am so frustrated.
Sorry to hear. For most people the pain is minor if at all...
Where is it painful? Is it where the "tapping" is or a different location?
Did you experience any side effects? Like dizziness? Fatigue? Tinnitus? Short term memory loss? I'm interested, but keep hearing others that are experiencing those, and they are long-term! Not so sure about this 😬
Great questions there. I experienced 0 side effects. Maybe because I used deep TMS instead of the other forms? www.tmsbrainhealth.com/which-type-of-tms-is-best-comparing-deep-rtms-vs-rtms-vs-neurostar/
I've been completely done with treatment for over a week now. I'm feeling great every day. I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has been on depression or anxiety meds for a long time with no real success. Yes, I had times where I was feeling good throughout the years, but nothing like this. I'm getting up happy every day, doing crafts again, making daily plans, living life!!
I actually hear people say it helps Tinnitus.
I wouldn't be surprised!
@@katiehoak what about fears and fight and flight response? Will it go?
Does this help at all with social anxiety???
It could!
Tms did not work for my son. 30 treatments and sadly it was a waste of time and money😢
I am depressed and suicidal.
I have to decide between deep TMS and ECT.
How long does deep TMS effect last ???
Most doctors tell me its no match for ECT
It's highly individual - could last for only a few months could last for many years
If your doctors believe that ECT Is more powerful and more appropriate then you should do what your doctors suggest...
If you're doing other things, at the same time, to help with all those symptoms, ??
Yes I prefer a multi faceted approach. Meditation, hrv biofeedback training with Lief, etc
What is the difference between regular TMS and deep TMS?
Deep is supposed to be more effective
@@HRVHackers Thanks for the reply!
Can I ask u do you steel feel the same after 1 year??
I later found out that I'm dealing with CFS which slowly brought depression back. This is still one of the best therapies I tried. I just wish it could be done at home
@@HRVHackersis that Cronic fatigue syndrome ?
Also there’s companies that make those head band tapping megnetic devices. Wonder if any are good for maintenance
@@seerguru6896 yeah dealing with CFS 😒. There is no rTMS at home at this moment. Which companies are you looking referring to though?
are u in complete remission or partial remission
I was impartial remission
@@HRVHackers nd niw are u in complete or partial remission
I have had chronic depression and suicidality for 34 years since age 9. I’ve gone through 9 antidepressants without any success, and I’m seeing a therapist & a psychiatrist.
It’s gotten to where severe depression is affecting my work in a significant way, and I feel so guilty for having this illness and making my coworkers suffer because of me. I’m so utterly exhausted from constantly fighting the gravitational pull towards the void for 34 years straight; I just want to let go and disappear.
I went to a TMS clinic for a consultation, and luckily my insurance will cover the treatment so I just have to pay the copay amount ($15) per session, so my out of pocket amount would be $540 which I can handle.
I’m going to try dTMS. With my long history of having chronic depression and my resistance to so many medications, I don’t know how much effect TMS will have on me. But if it has _any_ positive effect, I’ll call it a win.
Hope it helps you! What kind of a diet are you on BTW? That plays a huge role in mental health
@@HRVHackers Hi, thanks for the reply. I generally eat healthy, but recently it’s been a struggle to take care of myself. I don’t want to eat, and I feel like I don’t deserve to eat. I know I have to force myself to eat when I don’t want to, but it’s gotten to the point where it’s difficult.
Have you had your microbiome tested by a qualified practitioner? Otherwise you don't really know whether healthy food is affecting you the way you want it to be
@@HRVHackers I honestly don’t think what I’m eating is a big factor in my chronic depression that I’ve had since I was 9 years old. Growing up, my mom always fed me nutritious food, and as an adult I try to eat healthy.
Are you recommending that I get my microbiome gut flora clinically tested before going forward with TMS, and trying holistic lifestyle change first?
I’m pretty heavily suicidal, so I’m not sure if healthy eating is going to be enough.
No I'm not saying you should hold off on TMS. What I'm saying is for some people A carnivore diet Is a miracle for depression Because eating plants causes them inflammation and inflammation is it the root of depression for a number of cases. For other people other kind of diets worked better for mental health.
I would like to know how he is 6 months, 1 year and 1 1/2 year after the treatment. It's no good if the results don't last.
Why would you expect results to last so long from any treatment? If you go to the gym for a couple of months and then stop working out, do you expect the results to last a year and a half too? 🤔
@@HRVHackers Because the new research into psilocybin appears to show that one or two treatments is all anyone needs. It permanently rewires the brain.
@janets7291 maybe but that's going to be years before something like that is going to be available to most Americans. And then covered by insurance.
@@HRVHackers TMS is not covered by our provincial health insurance. It is available through private clinics and just a few treatments cost $30,000, far fewer than one a day for 2 months. If I'm going to drop that kind of coin it had better have permanent results. Psilocybin is currently in hospital trials in my city but as you say it's years from being available. And PS. don't always assume that someone commenting is American. There are other English speakers in the world that watch TH-cam.
Nice
it's not $40,000 (!!) I live in a big city and it's about 15, 000. It's not cheap and unfortunately most insurace (especially Medcaid) doesm't cover the entire amount.
That's the amt I was told by the office where I had it done
I started 2 weeks ago no relief as yet😢
How did you go about finding a doctor near you that offers TMS and accepts your insurance? Seems like such a mess calling around to doctors everywhere
Did you post a duplicate comment cuz I think I responded to this already? But basically I just Google searched for my health insurance + TMS + my city
How much is the co-pay?
$15 for me but that depends on your specific insurance
After Insurance, I was to pay $3600.00
rTMS did not help me unfortunately. 60 sessions with different settings, places
Bummer . what are you gonna try next?
In feel like I am getting more anxiety from it. I suffer from extreme anxiety probably secondary to my depression. Did you get more anxiety at first?
I didn't, but others had negative side effects at beginning before things got better
Did it help , I have both depression and anxiety. Ketamine has done nothing for me
Now 6 months later: what is your outlook on benefits from TMS? I'm considering this treatment.
I am Deaf. I have suffer insomnia, anxiety , stress and pre diabetes .. it’s terrible

it is too expensive than general public cannot afford it. Insurance in HK not cover this
Theta burst TMS ?
Are you asking if I did theta burst?
I’m 3 weeks in and it’s not doing anything

@@HRVHackers I am 23 years old and took the drug when I was 17 years old because of anxiety, but I stopped the medicine 7 months ago because of the side effects And now I have severe depression, will TMS work for me?
It definitely could help but there's no way of knowing without actually trying for this or any other treatment
Well this thing worth more like 400 000$, not 40k !
Really? Can you link to a source? They told me 40k at my therapist's office 🤔
How long did u suffer from depression?
Ever since being diagnosed with an unknown infection in August of 2020
Didn’t help me sadly
Bummer. What will you try next?
@@HRVHackers back to trying meds …..I recently lost my mom after losing dad and it’s a huge life event being alone eventho I’m older ….I wonder what happens to people who don’t respond to anything?
Sorry to hear about your loss of parents. People who don't respond to anything sometimes have good luck with vagus nerve stimulation devices
@@HRVHackers we will see….I was so hopeful for tms and was so disappointed but I started it 2 weeks after mom died so the timing might have been bad….I heard those devices can take 9 months to work? I also have vasovagal syncope ie faint w extreme panic….so maybe it would help my vagal nerve or not…it’s all a crapshoot…you are so lucky tms worked for you and I’m envious!
I’ve tried everything under the sun to get better from depression. On many antidepressants which helped a little but then completely stopped working while I had short term memory loss, weight gain and zero sex drive. You can’t get off antidepressants the withdrawals are horrendous and most doctors don’t listen to there patients they listen to the drug companies who lie through their teeth. I’ll say it again people antidepressants are almost impossible to get off of, they don’t tell you that when u first start them. I’m trying tms on tues, I’ll leave honest reviews when I’m finished treatment
Best of luck! Try the techniques on my channel they can be complimentary
@joannabrites9857: Have u completed your tms course. What is the outcome? Please share
