  • hi, this is the story of how i cured my supposedly incurable depression. i sometimes feel happy now. i hope you feel happy too. have a nice day ♥️
    thanks so much to SmartTMS: smarttms.co.uk
    ps: if you're worried that maybe i should have tagged this as a spon because i received a free thing, i fully explained the process in the video and i have checked with the UK's Advertising Standards Authority, who have said I'm all good. I'm not trying to hide anything... just didn't want to help people have hope that depression can be cured, and putting a fat SPON in the title would not be very good for a video on this topic. SmartTMS had no control over the content of this video, and I wasn't contractually obliged to make it. I just wanted to share my story. All g ♥️

    Hi!! Sorry if this was stated in the video, but on the website, it says that 30% of people do not respond to this treatment. I wanted to make sure people know this, because if I believed off the bat that there is a definite way to make me stop feeling like suicide is a viable option on the daily and then I was told that it wouldn't work on me, that'd make me feel much worse than if I knew there was a chance it didn't affect me from the beginning.

    I study neuroscience at uni, and TMS is being taught now. It came about from the Faraday coil, and is also being used a lot in research. We learnt the other week than when someone it told to read a passage, they cant speak it out loud if a certain cortical node is stimulated with TMS. Its true, we are just chemicals and cells, which i think is more incredible than saying we have a "soul". All that we feel and remember and see is just chemicals and electrical impulses. We forget that sometimes. Nothing we feel is invalid, because it is physically real, within our brain. Something is going on, whether we know about it yet or not.

      I think it makes a lot of sense too that this kind of treatment works. You probably know that often times, when trauma occurs, it has a dramatic impact on how the brain grows and develops (or, in older cases, dies). I wonder if this kind of treatment would be affective with severe PTSD and the like (maybe illnesses such as Alzheimer's as well). I'm curious how it works. It would be interesting to see the inner functions of the machine and all that.

    so I did a few courses in psychology and neuro-biology and your "strong brain" might actually be an indicator to the actual underlying problem of ADHD. ADHD often comes with anxiety and depression and doesn't always present with the typical hyperactive symptoms. ADHD on a neurological level is your brain not having enough neurotransmitters to get the wanted effect from a stimulus. So when a normal brain needs one cookie to feel happy, an ADHD brain need ten cookies to feel the same level of happiness. This leads to many symptoms like procrastination, unwillingness to stick to rules or being prone to addictions even if these addictions aren't always seen as harmful.

    This is an incredibly sensitive topic which you have approached with an amazing attitude and enthusiasm (which many people won’t understand). It is so refreshing to listen to someone with the same outlook on life who had experienced things/emotions that try to hinder that. I commend your ‘realness’ as I feel it is something this community desperately needs and is waiting for. Nothing but respect - keep surviving, keep living 👌🏼

I never thought I would see the end of my depression. Crazy how things change..it’s different for everyone but as I’m sure you’ll know there are people out there who need this validation and I think it’s so courageous and selfless to provide them that support(:

Anyway I’ve started medicine, and it’s been really helping. Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes it still feels hopeless to me, and I still get very anxious. However, we’re still trying to find the right meds. It’s only been six months, and while I’m still not quite where I’m supposed to be, I’m loads better. This lets me know that it is possible to get all the way where I need to be.

    That's some really interesting tech and great to hear it worked! Hope it is proven more and starts to make it's way here in Canada too. Depression and mental health issues in general are getting bad here would be cool to see an actual cure. Hopefully there's no long term side effects though.
    I ended up getting seasonal affective disorder (SAD) depression last year, it was a horrible feeling to go through, I was nearly suicidal, just felt like I was spiraling down a dark place. Was scary. Had to go on antidepressants and get counseling but eventually got out of it when summer arrived. I find in general I sometimes lack motivation to do anything and that's what led to my depression last year. I think that's more of a problem I need to work on myself though, just need to stop procrastinating projects so much and just get stuff done. I'm ok now, but it's around this time of year that it hit me. The clock change thing is what triggered it. Lack of daylight here does not help. Oddly enough we red heads do have an advantage of being able to produce vitamin D better through the sun... just don't stay in it too long lol. Of course most of the year there is no sun so it's kind of a lost super power unless you play around with UVB bulbs. Just protect your eyes. :o

  • @Mnogojazyk
    @Mnogojazyk 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Congratulations on your cure, Luke! I'm happy for you.
    Like you I suffer from depression. Unlike you, however, I will not be cured. At the base of the reasons is that I'm a citizen of the U.S. What that means is manifold:
    1. Healthcare in the U.S. is a privilege, not a right. One may get healthcare only if one can afford it. This leads to my second reason.
    2. In the U.S., only two things matter: power and money. One's money belongs not to oneself rather everyone else. Healthcare is another commodity in the U.S., and that means one's money is to be transferred to others. It's an expensive commodity, to be sure, but it's a commodity, nonetheless.
    3. I was out of work for 27 months and I didn't have an income. I applied to welfare, but I was denied. I applied to 117 jobs and every one but one turned me down; and that job lasted only five weeks. Despite the claims of the U.S. Affordable Care Act, in my experience, if one doesn't have an income, one does not get even minimal coverage. (By the way, this was the second bout of unemployment. The first one was only a few years earlier, and it too lasted two years.)
    4. I am now 62 years old, and I'm too old to be eligible for healthcare. Despite the claims of progressive U.S. politicians, people who are approaching retirement or have retired are too old to be granted healthcare because of the expense. (And it is a grant, not a right, to paraphrase the late George Carlin.)
    5. Your treatment is too new and therefore too expensive. If I were to seek it, I would be denied it because it isn't yet common practice.
    I have a job now -- I had to move away from the U.S. because of my age perceived degradation of skills -- and I do have healthcare. But I'm in an age group such that if I get ill even with a conventionally treatable illness, I may as well die because the fight for payment for services that I will have already paid for through my employer will kill me.
    Again, I'm glad for you. May the cure last a lifetime.
