Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Started TMS this week, 3 treatments so far. Those of you that found TMS helpful in treating your Depression, about how long did it take to start feeling a difference? I know everyone is different, but it would be nice to hear any feelings or time frames on how long it took to start feeling better. Thank you!

Shelly, I'm on Spravato (and a host of other meds). Part of my treatment resistant major depression is PTSD. I wonder if TMS would work for me, I'd LOVE to forget about a lot of things.
