I would like to hear from members who have tried this therapy. I am considering it for myself.
I would prefer stories that are realistic, not simply negative or positive or opinions only.
Thank you 🙂

Hey @Rel76 ,
Welcome to the forums. I've been recommended TMS, but I can't say I've had it.
I hope others will be able to share their experiences.

Hi
I did try TMS. The only result was a thinner wallet.
Coming to the end of a Trial of ECT, I cant say I am feeling positive about the result.

Hi @Rel76
Have had only 1 interaction with TMS, when I sat through a promo for it. Maybe it was the was the way that it was portrayed, but I felt so angry after that promo. It just seemed so flippant the way that after a few courses of TMS, all my depression and anxiety would simply evaporate. It felt so much that the way it was being marketed that they were simply preying on vulnerable people..... Asgard

I agree, that marketing should be compassionate. I feel that way about meds.
I have spoken to a nurse who is a pa]practitioner and the site has statistics, so that helped me feel more realistic about it @Asgard
