So sorry to hear the depression has returned after such a good stretch — 18 months of relief is meaningful, even if it feels bittersweet right now.

While there aren't specific member stories in the current results about redoing TMS, many MyDepressionTeam members do share that depression recovery isn't always a straight line. As one MyDepressionTeam member put it, "it's as though one goes two steps forward and then one step back."

The best next step would be to reach out to your treatment team about retreatment options. Here's what's worth discussing with them:

- Whether a repeat TMS course is appropriate for your situation
- How your current symptoms compare to before your first TMS treatment
- Whether any adjustments to your overall treatment plan might help

Retreatment with TMS is something doctors do consider when a patient has responded well previously — a prior positive response is actually a good sign for retreatment success.

Hang in there. The fact that it worked before is genuinely encouraging.
