My son has autism spectrum from troubled birth. At 15yrs he was headed to be institutionalized. We did TMS. It was applied to both left and right sides. For 10 weeks. 20 min sessions . No more crazy meds. He's now 26 married and a plus for society. It work's

I’m on session 26 out of 36, and I absolutely feel as if my capacity for life has increased..I can keep my head above water with less effort.it was so uncomfortable to me at first but not any more. It really gets easy and I think is very much worth trying it if you can.

It seems crazy they don't follow up after more than a year. That would be imperative information to know.

I had this treatment and it didn't do anything for me, i never felt a change, i guess it works only for some people, but they should also make studies about for who this treatment is useful, because it is really sad when you spend money for something that just doesn't work for you. I hope that those who will be taking this treatment find it useful and help them.

I'm 4 sessions in to my 30. Hasn't done anything for me yet but I realise it's still early days. Remaining hopeful.

Getting my 1st treatment the 27 of May. I'm quite hopeful.

You know one time I had an mri and I swear that helped my depression and anxiety for a few months. Realizing an mri uses magnetic fields I think that is what helped me. I will look into this treatment.

TMS is a highly successful treatment with people with treatment-resistant depression.

[kierbaudy]

Great presentation. Very clear and informative.

[ASCend]

I start TMS therapy on Friday. Whoever reads this, please wish me luck. This is my last best hope.

Seems getting out 5 times a week for 6 weeks would do a lot of good alone. Has this been studied against someone going TO the patient or someone just going out 5 times a week for 6 weeks?

[KrisAmos]

We place too much emphasis on pharmaceuticals.

[marlonperez]

thank you for a good presentation. I will be working as a TMS nurse soon.

[adelina]

I'm trying it now. On treatment number 8. For depression. Hopefully it will work.

I am not a doctor, but an electrical engineer with strong interest in Electromagnetic fields and waves. I found this to be the perfect introduction to EM fields as applied to TMS purposes. I always wondered how EM fields effected the nerves and brain. One question I have is how do the electric fields that always accompany changing magnetic fields effect the brain if at all. It also leads to the question: how do very strong pulses of electrostatic waves, like lightening, effect the nervous system if at all. Thanks!

Yes this treatment works for many, but to say it’s safer and noninvasive is not accurate. I had the treatment, and since I’ve experienced a much worsening depression including suicidal ideation. I also have concentration issues, mood fluctuations, and anxiety attacks in certain social situations. I had none of this prior to TMS. There’s others who have experienced similar or different symptoms that have really negatively impacted their lives. It’s been 7 months since last treatment and pray that I can regain some of my brain back.
