When it comes to my experience with Achieve TMS East’s services, I couldn’t ask for a more attentive, compassionate, and personable group. Whatever questions I had were met with truthful and assured answers. For a person such as me, I need to be around people who are positive, responsible, and even humorous in order for me to feel comfortable. The staff at Achieve reflect this, and it made my sessions with TMS a splendid experience.”

“Despite taking medications, my coping mechanisms consisted mainly of avoidance of social situations, withdrawal into myself, and sleep complications. During the TMS treatments, my sleep immediately improved during the night. Getting more sleep helped me find energy to plan and commit to accomplishing goals.”

“After TMS, I noticed some sort of mental relief, a feeling that something had been lifted. Friends and family noticed positive changes in my interactions with them. I would recommend TMS. I recommend patients complete the 36 sessions and not get discouraged if after a few treatments they don’t feel better.”

“Prior to starting TMS, I was very suicidal and not coping very well. I wanted to function, but I did not have any energy to complete simple tasks. The biggest change I saw in myself during the TMS treatments was the fact that I was able to start swimming again, and the frequency of swimming increased to four times a week. I highly recommend TMS treatment to others, and I have already been referring others.”

“By the end of my second treatment, I noticed a dramatic difference in my ability to experience joy and a shift from hopelessness to hopefulness in my future. My need/desire to self-isolate almost completely disappeared, and my alcohol consumption dropped to an occasional drink. I didn’t need to hide out or get numb, and I found myself facing the real potential of looking forward to the rest of my life.”

“Prior to starting TMS, I spent most of my time on the couch looking at all that needed to be done with no desire or energy to do anything. I had been through TMS treatments before through another company that offered surface TMS and was not able to notice much improvement. After receiving Achieve TMS East’s deep TMS treatments, I myself noted a difference in about four weeks. In the past, with surface TMS, I was TOLD I was feeling better, but this time, I was ASKED how I was feeling. This was a big difference for me.”

“I feel better than I’ve ever felt on any psych/anti-depressant medication! I can’t imagine where I would be without Achieve’s care and TMS treatments and I thank God so much for everyone at Achieve TMS East. I was telling someone just recently that for it to have broken through the dark and heavy cloud of depression and anxiety that I’ve struggled with for more than 20 years, is such a huge testament and so incredibly telling of how awesome this new technology in medicine is!”

“Prior to starting TMS treatment, I cried a lot and worried constantly. I wasn’t coping very well with my depression at all. Once I started the deep TMS treatments, I noticed a huge difference in how I coped with things in my daily life. I am hopeful the coping skills I have found through this treatment will continue now that I have finished my treatments. My experience with Achieve TMS East has been amazing; everyone was very accommodating. My TMS technician was wonderful, friendly, and so helpful through the whole process. I would highly recommend TMS to other people.”

I’ve had depression since 8th grade. I coped by not eating and mostly cutting. Since I have started TMS, I have not cut once.
I noticed that I am getting back to my humor and quick wit. Also noticed my depression episodes only last a few hours instead of months at a time! I feel like I move forward a lot easier and I am more positive.
I recommend it to EVERYONE! I haven’t felt this good in years. I am coping by having better outlets and eating regularly. I cope with exercising everyday, eating healthy, and not isolating myself.
No.
Almost not at all. I had no coping mechanism. TMS has helped out immensely.
Feelings are now more clear, clear-headed and focused. Bad feelings go away faster.
I will hopefully be better off now after this. I will try to cope better. Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
Nothing at all. Treatment was excellent. Staff was very kind, understanding and pleasant to be around. Very kind and helpful.
I was barely able to cope. I pushed loved ones away and attempted suicide twice even on medication.
As the treatment went on, I noticed that I was able to deal with my depression and situation better. I thought less of ending it all and my anxiety became more manageable.
My depression is almost non-existant now, and I would definitely recommend Achieve TMS to anyone whose medication isn’t enough.
Nothing.
Medications and sleeping.
My level of depression diminished.
I am coping better and would recommend TMS to others. I feel much better.
No.
Just tried to struggle through every day.
I started to feel better soon after starting TMS. That was my motivation to stick with the appointments every day.
TMS along with meds, enough sleep, and a set routine has helped keep me feeling good. I would definitely recommend TMS!
I don’t have any suggestions here. The entire staff is amazing. The room is peaceful and comfortable.
I isolated myself and did not sleeping well.
I slept much better. I also isolate myself less.
I would highly recommend to future patients because it has worked for me tremendously because it has affected me in a positive way.
Everyone here is so helpful and understanding; it is amazing.
Using medication, alter-ego lifestyle to include lots of downtimes.
I noticed a change in my outlook. I started enjoying myself more and was able to live in the moment to a greater degree. I experienced more productivity at work and have slept without sleeping aids for the first time in 3 years.
This is a great option for treatment resistant depression. I took medication for 10 years without the relief I have experienced with TMS.
Greater explanation of the treatment and how I will feel and what to expect. It would be great to connect with patients and caretakers who have gone through the treatment.
Various medication trials and multiple medications which I felt were detrimental to my health.
I noticed a difference within two weeks. I started sleeping better and taking an interest in activities. I was able to go off all medications after a few weeks.
I am on only one medication now and am a much happier person. I would absolutely recommend TMS, especially if you are at the point where everything feels hopeless.
