This is my testimony of how much the Neurostar TMS treatment has helped me. Growing up, I was was a happy, healthy child with a loving family. I was active and extremely intelligent, and involved with school, friends, hobbies, and sports activities. But during college things started to change. I have struggled now for several years with an ever-deepening depression, which no medications or counseling seemed to help. It has been difficult for all of those who love me to watch these changes, to see me slide into a dark place where they couldn’t reach me or help. All of my loved ones have been praying for a solution, and are very grateful that I was recommended for this treatment. After only 2 weeks I started noticing small changes, which filled me with hope. I was less negative in conversations. I was taking on long-overdue projects in her house. I was laughing and joking, participating in conversations. I was going places just to be out of the house. Such a blessing for me and everyone who loves me to see improvements start here, and I am still getting better! For me, it has been an answer to prayers! – Hannah G.
At first I thought that this treatment was just the “same old, same old.” In fact, it turned out to be a very relaxing time which I am now trying to duplicate at home as part of a regular morning routine. I always felt that the staff were there to support me completely through follow-up sessions and trying to make me comfortable. TMS exceeded my wildest expectations. Almost immediately the world looked bright and new. I so appreciate the opportunity to find a very different world and life. – Tim A.
I was severely depressed over a period of three years. I tried several antidepressants but nothing really seemed to work. I had a severe allergic reaction. My family was very poorly impacted by the whole problem of my depression. By the end of the TMS treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that sixth week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume. It could actually get better and that I had more to look forward to. – Garret A.
During that time, it was probably the darkest time in my life. I was sad and miserable all the time. Before when I was going through depression, I felt hopeless. Since TMS, my perspective on life has been so positive that I know there is hope. – Martha F.
