Great to hear! I finished a round of treatements last month. I felt a little better, but lately I have been feeling some dips in my moods. But I don't totally lose the "ability" to still keep myself moving forward. So, that is still a good thing. I do know I still need to work harder to keep on with healthy things (regular exercise, eating well, etc.), but I don't lose all sense of motivation.


Someone told me that TMS really helped her after she had a booster round some itme after her initial round. I hope to maybe get a booster round next year.

I'm posting everywhere I can find forums about TMS. I anticipate starting the end of this week. My insurance now covers it 100%, whereas a year ago when I checked it was not covered. Glad to hear that it has helped you both!

That's great! Thank you for sharing. I've been considering it as I don't want to be on medications for life which it seems like I will as therapy has been ineffective thus far.

How often did you get the TMS? For example, I started ECT three times a week for 12 times and now do it once every 2 weeks.

Thank you

Some people can find TMS very helpful though it may not last and then they have to have top ups every three months.

I've always wanted to do TMS, although I'm not certain if my insurance would even cover it. The procedure itself sounds scary to me, despite how factually safe it is. Nonetheless, I'm glad to hear it's working very well for you! I'll definitely look more into it.

In my 5th week of TMS. I was one of the people who got worse before feeling better but I started noticing this weekend that the depression was lifting.
