I have been suffering from Major Depressive Disorder since I was 17. I am now 66. I have been on no fewer than 10 different medications.Most of the medications work for a few months and stop working. I tried ECT — it did nothing. I felt so badly so often, I thought about suicide frequently.

A few months ago I was doing some memory testing, and the doctor suggested I might benefit from rTMS which his office had recently acquired. It was a 45 minute ride 5 days a week for at least 6 weeks, with sessions lasting 45 minutes. I was scared and I wasn’t sure If I was willing to drive that far I heard the treatments could be painful.
I also wasn’t sure If my insurance would pay the treatments cost about $15000 my insurance company agreed to pay the entire amount. I decided to give it a try. Best decision I ever made. Great staff very supportive. The equipment is very noisy but totally non painful! I just completed 32 treatments I am almost completely done just another 4 treatments. I have experienced a COMPLETE remission of symptoms; nothing short of a miracle.  I feel great and expect to go back to work soon
