Has Anyone Here Tried TMS Treatment For Depression? I'm Interested In It!

I had TMS as soon as it came out. It was a rather bizarre experience but ultimately I felt just a minor change in my depression but my anxiety increased to suffocating levels. After I finished all the treatments there was no improvement in my depressive symptoms.

I did a full TMS treatment course (every day for 30 days) while I was in an inpatient treatment facility. I feel like the TMS was the only thing that helped me, I saw a significant decrease in my depressive symptoms after about 15 days of treatment. Since I have been discharged I feel that the depression is getting worse again, however because I am not in treatment it would cost a lot to get the TMS done again in the community. Long story short .. if you have the means to do it definitely give it a try .. it may just be the treatment that will make a difference!!

I have tried it and it worked for me I only had one session and I could not commit to the schedule for the second session because I was working but the schedule is demanding I think you have to have it everyday for 6 weeks at least for me anyways but like I said it worked it lifted my depression along with medication of course

Yes I had TMS treatment 5 years ago. I would accept it again if I was able.
