CLIENT STORIES

Be inspired by real stories of healing and transformation

"Antidepressants helped to some degree but the effectiveness would eventually wear off. While searching online for a psychiatrist, I became aware of TMS and hoped this might work and I am just glad I still had hope and had this treatment done."

Roger

"I have suffered from depression for over 15 years. I have tried the usual drugs, including Prozac and Celexa, but they always made me feel like a zombie. When I heard about TMS, I was very reluctant. However, my psychiatrist encouraged me to try it and I am so glad that I did. After just 3 sessions, the improvement was remarkable."
