    By the end of my sixth week of TMS, my depression had definitely lifted a bit. Though I did not see much improvement with my anhedonia or lethargy, I was making gains in conversing (it was becoming more natural) and socializing. I think I may have experienced ‘the dip’ the first week after treatment–if that is possible. Now, I am at the end of the second week post-TMS, and I have to say that the lethargy and anhedonia are lifting, and interacting with others is almost to its pre-depression state! I’m able to appreciate spring blooms and look at magazines without feeling defeated by smiles and the upbeat tone. I know others have mentioned they’ve benefited from TMS after treatment, but I think I assumed that experience was an anomaly. I’m writing to say that post-TMS growth is possible!

    Thanks, NeedMore, for the nice words. In addition to an update, I wanted to make sure my experience offered encouragement to anyone nearing the end of treatment or anyone not-quite-satisfied with their during-treatment results. I know I panicked as the 30th session drew near and, as I expressed, one week out of treatment I was at a low. Three weeks out and I am gardening and helping my son build a mousetrap car for science. Here’s to continuing progress for all of us!
