What is The Dip?

The Dip is a term used to refer to the effect which sometimes happens when progress of your TMS Therapy is temporarily reversed. Initially, researchers dismissed this slide in progress as an anomaly in treatment. However, as more clinical studies are conducted, it is becoming very apparent that a sizable number of patients may experience The Dip during their treatment.

Symptoms of The Dip can include a sudden and deepening increase in depression, and it can appear as though there has been an almost complete reversal of progress. For this reason, The Dip can feel very defeating and cause undue stress to a patient undergoing TMS Therapy. However, it is important to remember that these effects are only temporary. People who experience this reversal in progress appear to usually gain it back, and tend to continue towards the goal of alleviating their depression symptoms.

Unfortunately at this time not much is know about what causes The Dip, only that it’s effects are temporary.
