The treatment experience was very enjoyable, almost like going to a massage session but having my brain chemistry massaged instead of my body!
Kevin, TMS patient
We’re proud of the technology, team, and process we offer our patients seeking Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) treatment.
(New to TMS? Learn more about it here.)
And as we witness each patient experience the benefits for themselves, we’re right there celebrating alongside them!
This week, we’re talking with Kevin about his experience with TMS:
Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, Kevin! Can you share a bit about what life felt like prior to beginning TMS treatment?
Before TMS treatments, I experienced severe depression. I felt that I hated myself, had no energy or motivation to do anything, and was overwhelmed with worries.
What had you tried (before TMS) to address these challenges?
Over the years, I tried 22 different antidepressant medications, therapy, an energy lightbox, meditation, and several intensive healing workshops.
Any hesitations about exploring TMS for yourself? What made you decide to give it a try?
My psychiatrist thought I needed electroconvulsive therapy. I didn’t want to do that so he recommended I consider TMS.
At first, I was concerned about the time commitment and feared it wouldn’t work since I’ve tried so many other things. But, ultimately, I I realized I couldn’t go on the way I had been, so I decided to give it a try.
What was the experience like for you?
The treatment experience was very enjoyable, almost like going to a massage session but having my brain chemistry massaged instead of my body! My treatment was especially wonderful because of my exceptional TMS technician, Eva.
What were some of the first changes you noticed after beginning treatment?
I noticed myself feeling joy for the first time in a long, long time
How does life feel different now, after TMS treatment?
My life has changed dramatically for the better. I have energy, I’m happy, and don’t have worries.
Any advice or encouragement you’d like to share with someone considering TMS?
Nobody should live feeling miserable or even unhappy. Nothing is more important than that which we are seeking: A calm, happy, and peaceful mind.
Don’t hesitate to try TMS treatment. It’s science-based and clinically-proven. I highly recommend it.
Thank you, Kevin! We’re honored to have worked with you.
