Approximately 50% to 60% of people with depression who have tried and failed to receive benefit from medications experience a clinically meaningful response with TMS. About one-third of these individuals experience a full remission, meaning that their symptoms go away completely. Yet, because of some of the negative information relayed, we continue to struggle to help patients see the benefits.  The only way to get those who need it most to take advantage of this life changing treatment is for us to advocate and counteract with proper messaging. We must work together to make this happen!

I was severely depressed over a period of three years. I tried several antidepressants but nothing really seemed to work. My family was very poorly impacted by the whole problem of my depression. By the end of the TMS treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that sixth week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume and that I had more to look forward to.
