“Our daughter has suffered from depression for 4 years. It started with a very serious concussion her freshmen year at college while playing field hockey and manifested itself a few months later when she blacked out during a sexual assault incident on campus. For the next 4 years she struggled with deep depression while attending college and playing sports at school. After graduation, her battle got worse and we were at lost for where to turn. We stumbled across a 60 Minutes episode on Kitty Ducacas and her ETS treatment which mentioned at the very end of episode, TMS. We researched TMS and found NeuroStar. It seemed too good to be true. It was very difficult to attend her sessions since they were a 1hr and 15min drive and she works full time. However, we got through it; there were a few dips that made us worry. Now she is at end of her 6 weeks and it is pretty amazing what is happening to her. She seems happy and has signed up to run the Boston Marathon for a team fund raiser helping those with disabilities.

“I’ve suffered from depression since I was 15 years old. I’ve tried many different anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications over the years. Dr. Berger told me about TMS Therapy. I started treatment and have definitely noticed a difference.

I’ve gone back and forth with being depressed and increasing medication. This just wasn’t working. I didn’t have a life, a social life. I went to work, came home, ate dinner, went straight to my room and to sleep. This pattern flowed into the weekends and spend the entire weekend in bed. I felt my life just slipping away. I had no life. I just went to work.

One of the weird things is when I am at work I am myself. I was confused. When I am at I make people laugh. When I come home I’m a completely different person. My therapist explained it took so much energy for me to overcome the depression and be good at my job. I “wear a mask of a happy person” when I’m at work and I would “crash” when I got home. This is getting better as a result of TMS Therapy. I even started to push myself to do things on the weekends.

A lot of people I know say they have noticed a difference. My co-workers noticed I am handling negative situations better. My closest friend even notices a difference since I started TMS Therapy. I am taking steps toward my dream of being a stand-up comedian. I am compiling a journal and started the process of applying to comedy school in NYC. I started exercising again! TMS Therapy had a positive impact on treating my depression”. – A.G.

“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 six 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.*
