She still says that she feels a lot better. I’m assuming that it’s not 100% – I don’t know if she even remembers what completely better feels like (she describes a mild depression in high school which worsened during college). Would she even know what completely better is? I wouldn’t know since I have never experienced true, biological depression. Anyways, she is attending her summer class regularly and doing her homework (a major improvement). We would have definitely considered ECT and, if affordable , ketamine and if tolerable, parnate.
I would do what the doctor recommends. The doctor should know more than us. Maybe the low frequency, right sided treatment will help with depression too.
No terrig, you may still improve. My daughter, who is a college student, has recently undergone 36 neurostar treatments. She improved the most during her last six tapering sessions. According to her, she felt a very,very subtle improvement around her 25th session. After her second to last taper, she said “mom, I feel a whole lot better”. That improvement seems to be lasting. She is not and was not on any antidepressants during treatment (ssris and snris have caused her to experience side effects rangeing from severe stomachache to seratonin syndrome).
