My name is Emily. I underwent a full round of dTMS treatments during spring of 2019. It took a lot of hard work, time, effort, and coordination, but the results were 100% worth it. For some background, I have bipolar disorder, anxiety with panic attacks, and PTSD. I had tried dozens of different medications prior to receiving dTMS treatments and had not found lasting relief. I’m beyond happy to say that the dTMS treatments had a profound effect on the way that I think and feel.
The effects were very noticeable and although I feel they may have slightly worn off now that it has been over a year since finishing, I still 100% recommend this therapy and I would go through it again if I needed to in a heartbeat. I felt as though I became more aware of my thoughts and patterns of behavior, which made it easier to overcome depressive episodes. I used to have months at a time of depression, and now that no longer happens.
I was also able to push through seasonal depression with more vigor and vitality than ever before. I feel that dTMS treatments have helped me rediscover the person that I was before depression. The cherry on top is that I received my treatment for 100% free, and I had very few side effects. I feel beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to take part in these treatments and I would highly recommend them to anybody with resistant depression.
My tech made me feel so welcomed and comfortable during each session. They had water and snacks at the office and were very considerate to make sure that you were hydrated and that you had something in your stomach. I’m not used to encountering such kindness in medical situations, so I really appreciated how much my tech genuinely cared about my comfort. The doctor in charge of the facility was also very knowledgeable and personable. The office managers do such a good job of getting authorizations and handling the insurance paperwork for you.
They really understand how difficult it can be to function with depression, so they do whatever they can to make it easier on you. If you’ve been battling resistant depression, it’s time to make a call to the Achieve TMS East team and experience the changes for yourself. Don’t put it off one more day – you deserve to see beauty in life again.
