Sarah manages a greenhouse just outside a small, historic Michigan town. Suddenly after her 30th birthday, Sarah sunk into depression. After working with a local therapist, she thought the symptoms were behind her. However, the therapy sessions alone weren’t enough to relieve all her depressive symptoms.
Her therapist recommended TMS therapy at Michigan Advanced Psychiatry. After a helpful consultation, a provider determined TMS Therapy was a more suitable option than medication alone. Sarah was hesitant at first, saying, “I had never heard of this before. I was a little scared about the helmet. But after the amazing support and guidance from their team, I was ready to give it a try.”
All of Sarah’s reservations went away after experiencing relief after the first two weeks of treatment sessions. She was guided by our team who helped her understand how TMS therapy is about regiment, with each treatment building on another to produce a positive response.
She noted how she felt at ease during every appointment because of the welcoming environment and friendly staff. Coming in each day, she set aside time to focus on what getting better meant for her life. While in treatment she set goals for herself and as treatment went on, she felt closer to obtaining them.
After completing treatment, Sarah has now been depression free for over six months and counting!
From Sarah: “I don’t know what I would have done without TMS Therapy. If you are suffering through depression, please don’t go at it alone. I almost did that, but I know I would have regretted it.”
