I have been dealing with depression for over 10 years now. I have been on all medications possible and nothing worked for me. I’ve been up and down and always fell back to my dark hole. That is until Dr. Deirmenjian recommended Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
I was hesitant at first but I decided to try it anyway and it does work! I went Monday through Friday for 6 weeks, even drove all the way from Long Beach to Beverly Hills, which as you can imagine is quite a commute. Well worth it and I am doing great now!
It’s been three months since I finished treatment and still feeling great! It was tough commiting to it but I am so glad I did it and it changed my life forever. People around me noticed how I’ve changed. They say, “you are just like the old happy you from high school.” It gave me my personality back and my life.
Overall, the experience was great! I don’t think I could have done it without Dr. Deirmenjian and his nurse, Heather. Their support was wonderful throughout this process and meant so much to me. Their support, guidance, patience and understanding helped me to get through this.
I was scared at first and had so much anxiety. I had anxiety anyway before starting the treatment but I was reassured that it would go away and eventually it did. I changed my diet and exercise regularly in addition to the TMS, as the Doctor advised me to do and it worked. It really helped me a lot.
I highly recommend this treatment for anyone who has depression and nothing else has worked for them. If you are at your wit’s end with depression and the side effects, not to mention all the side effects from the medications, then give TMS a try. And, of course, the treatment comes with Heather and Dr. Deirmenjian and I could not have done it without them and all their support. If you are going to pick an office, make sure you pick one that is as comfortable and calm as this one.
