What Causes Depression?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I don't consider feeling sad about something bad that happened depression. That is a normal response to something. To me depression is feeling bad when I don't really have a reason to. Or feeling too bad about something that happened. Too bad for too long.

What causes that? Why do I react differently than other people?

There are alternate choices, like going to bed or medicating yourself. I personally take it as a part of life. And I leave it at that.

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!

A MyDepressionTeam Member

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.
