I've had TMS through the Neurostar system and a different provider 2.5 years ago. It worked incredibly well but despite even undergoing maintenance treatments I relapsed 2 years after. I totally lost my vitality. I had no motivation whatsoever, I could not experience pleasure. Initially I lost a lot of weight, since I had no appetite, but then gained a lot of weight to cope with the depression. I tried 6 different medications. I was in intensive outpatient therapy, which helped somewhat, but I needed a further push. I honestly didn't think another round of TMS would help; the IOP psychiatrist encouraged me to undergo TMS again.. I was pleasantly surprised that deep TMS was being offered in my area (I recently moved) and that my insurance covered it. I can say a lot about TMS, but to be concise, I believe it helped me get into total remission, with few side effects. I wake up jumping out of bed, excited and looking forward to the day. Everything is more beautiful, work is less stressful, my relationships are becoming more meaningful, and my circumstances are drastically changing.I have myself and my vitality back.
Aside from the technology, both my Neurostar and Brainsway providers were excellent. They did not shy away from giving me cell phone numbers that I could contact at any time. I also feel that Dr. Talati works with me to manage my medications as a team, and considers my input. She doesn't rush me at all. It's evident she is not doing this only for the money, but that she genuinely wants to help heal people.
