Wow, this is amazing.. I wish I’d seen this earlier. I had 30 - 40 or so tms treatments about 3 months ago, and I felt better than I about every remember. And I had severe depression and generalized anxiety. Now it’s about 2 months past and I feel it dipping.. I want to get more treatments but it is indeed expensive and I can’t keep getting treatments indefinitely if it doesn’t work long term at some point. Worth going back tho, it sounds like. Thanks so much for this video!
No. You dont have to do the whole tms to feel better again,you will probably only need 5 to 6 sessions of tms to feel better about again... when you do tms 30 or 40 sessions and got better and then stop tms and relapse,it doesn't take the whole tms sessions to feel good again,few sessions and you will be back to remession
Theres a 60 % chance that you might not need more TMS after initial treatment. 40 % need what is called maintenence , which is initial treatment , plus the maintenence once a month every month. Iknow this because I myself take TMS as I am a Disabled Veteran with PTSD .
I found your video very informative. My doctor just suggested I look into this treatment after more than 10 years of trying over a dozen antidepressants. Wish I lived in Manhattan, I’d come and see you in a heartbeat!
The video was great, I have had 28 sessions of TMS, like 5 months ago and at times, I get a little depressed and anxious but I pull out of it in a day or two. I feel like coffee helps me and sometimes causes anxiousness. Overall, TMS has helped me. I have no negative symptoms from this treatment. I met a lady that tried it and it did not do anything for her.
First, I consider it important to identify the very clear set of symptoms that are emerging in the group of people harmed by TMS. After speaking with and reading the testimony of hundreds of people, the most common symptoms are: Significantly worsening depression and anxiety (which may also be newly “treatment-resistant”) Cognitive impairment such as short-term memory or functional memory loss and decreased ability to multitask Irritability Fatigue Panic attacks Increased suicidal ideation Chronic headaches Loss of balance, Dizziness Almost every person I’ve spoken with experienced at least one of these, if not all of them. Additional symptoms that are somewhat less common include: Tinnitus Hearing loss Eye injury Migraines Different forms of tachycardia Seizures and epilepsy Blood pressure problems Speech problems Muscle pain/weakness/fasciculations/cramping/tightness Insomnia Dissociation Environmental sensitivities to temperature, light, smell, and sound Sensitivity to medications and supplements Psychosis has also been observed in a few rare cases, but at least half of those specifically involve overuse of TMS (as described in this article). It also became obvious to me that these symptoms manifest themselves in a very specific way. For instance, the worsening anxiety and/or depression is unrelenting and does not respond to treatment. As an example, before my TMS injury, when I was extremely anxious or depressed I would run longer and start eating really well, and this would always improve my symptoms to some degree. Typically, the harder I worked out, the better I felt, and the better I ate, the better I felt. But after TMS, when I became depressed and anxious, exercise and eating did not help. I immediately began working out harder and harder and put myself on a stricter diet, which became stricter because I never got any relief from my symptoms. Every day I woke up feeling the same intense depths of despair, and I would become very anxious during the day. If I tried to meditate or run or use the CBT methods I had developed in the past, none of them made ANY difference at all. I found this to be remarkable and deeply disconcerting, which only compounded my situation. Another characteristic of my TMS injury was that instead of improving in the months following TMS, I actually got worse. Immediately after TMS, I did not feel nearly as bad as I began to feel as time went on. Immediately after TMS, I still had my depression and anxiety, and I may have even felt slightly better due to the placebo effect and the hope that it was helping me. However, about a month after TMS, I felt my symptoms were slowly intensifying until, about three months after TMS, they had become far more severe. The level of depression I felt was at least ten times what it was before. Also, instead of having anxiety occasionally bother me, I now had it all day, and panic attacks that I had only experienced once or twice in my whole life became a daily occurrence. I concluded that this is what led to the subsequent increased, intense suicidal ideation that I experienced, which is what most others have mentioned to me when discussing their TMS injury as well. When you are extremely depressed and frequently panicking, suicidal ideation naturally follows; you come to believe you will never get any relief from the suffering and you begin to doubt if you can live with it. To me, this is a normal human response to the trauma that TMS causes in the brain and on the nervous system. If we take a step back here and look at how these symptoms are manifesting, we can see this is “delayed onset.” New symptoms are continually manifesting after the initial injury has occurred.

I wish I lived near NYC. However, just having this video available to everyone he even saving even more lives. I can't wait to try it. Besides a boat load of medications the only thing that keeps my head above water is getting Ketamine IV infusion every 6 weeks. Important that it's IV and not nasal spray. And hallucinogens are NOT addictive.
I just started rTMS last week. 4 sessions in. Headache for the first few sessions as well as some odd taste/smell sensations but otherwise quite tolerable treatment. Looking forward to feeling normal and great in a few weeks!
What does being Italian have to do with it? Or do you mean you are actually in Italy? I wish I could be his patient too except I'm in Florida which is a 3 hr plane flight. Good luck to you. I hope you get what you need. I know how horrible depression is.

Hi, I have developed severe hyperphagia and nicotine addiction, loss of executive control and depersonalisation including complete loss of satiety and interoception as the result of benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. I have also developed MCS and MCAS - I have Craniocervical instability and possible occult tethered cord - I was on benzos for 20 years following spinal surgery. I need to find a way to treat the hyperphagia and depersonalisation in order to help the MCAS reactions. Would TMS address these issues?
Sir kindly help me n tell me does RTMs work on : Intra spinal intradural lipoma is seen from the level of d12 to L4 vertebera. Spinal cord appears adherent to it nerves of cauda equina are embedded within it .No significant interval change is noted .
I did TMS years ago stopped at 20th session. I made my depression so much worse and to this day no med or anything has worked. It cause pain all over my body. A place wants to do it again and I said no way to do the exact same thing. thinking about ECT but don't want memory loss.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope that the symptoms have subsided or stopped since then. It is my belief that medicine and other treatments are capable of best serving a patient in combination with other therapies (e.g. counseling, especially with someone with experience in emotional abuse). I have found drastic improvement in several areas (e.g. depression, self-esteem) through diligently working on several self-help methods. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), journaling, exploring further into CPTSD and narcissism, in order to better understand the relationship between the two. Other actions I've taken help that compliment a happier, healthier life like getting outside, meditation, improving my organizational skills, self-forgiveness, practicing healthy boundaries, shifting focus on my goals and aspirations, allowing myself rest or alone time when I need it the most, allowing myself to let go of something when I know I really want to, and more. All of it together have been working on steps to transform my life - as a whole. Think whole. Think healing. Think transformation. Think change.
@@healthyone100 I highly recommend you try ect. Don’t be afraid of memory problems that ect may cause because they are usually mild and temporary. It completely goes away after few months.
Hi from Florida in America. I looked it up online for you. Yes, it is in India but it looks like their are very few of them and that they are spread out pretty far from each. I you need me to look up more information for you let me know. I really hope you get the care you need. I know how horrible depression is. I can't wait to try this.
So a woman becomes depressed after having a child, something that’s been happening for time immemorial. She needs love, support, and time to make a fully recovery. Instead she’s introduced to psychiatry and her life falls apart. 😬
IMO - it really depends on the person. In the past people had to suffer with horrible mental issues believing that it was a cross to bear for life or that it was somehow a personal weakness, and that they were just not thinking in the right way. What a load of nonsense. We don't expect humans to talk their way out of cancer or diabetes: why don't we approach psychiatric disorders the same way?
