Before TMS therapy I was insecure, and I hated my life. I was busy and studying a lot so I didn’t have time to see people, but when I did have time I would just sit in my bed all day. I was always tired and lethargic; I didn’t have the energy to talk to anyone, and I didn’t want to go out or for people to see me.

I tried one antidepressant, but it wasn’t for me. I’m in pharmacy school, so we learned about antidepressants and their side effects. I decided I wanted to go the non-drug route for my depression to avoid those side effects, so I did research on TMS therapy, and it seemed like a great idea.

Since undergoing TMS therapy treatments, I still have stress because I’m still in school, but I feel like it’s helped a lot. My thoughts aren’t as negative. When treatment first started, I wasn’t as friendly or patient at work as I am now.

I tell people who need depression treatment to start TMS therapy now. I know that the time commitment can be an issue, but it will help in the long run. I always made time for TMS because it’s helped me.
