Hi Fitz81. I have no credentials, only knowledge of living with a spouse with severe depression, now a 20-year-old son suffering the same. I almost lost my son to depression in January, and the past few months have been frightening. But, there are a few things I can say, simply out of experience.

First, the fact that you are still fighting and looking for help is huge. You are still in the game … bravo!! Please don’t take that lightly, you are strong enough to endure and get through it.

Second, I truly believe in TMS. My son has only received two sessions so far, so again, I don’t have a lot to go on; however, give it more time. Don’t beat yourself up for needing to isolate yourself, that will change once you begin to feel better. For now focus on going to work and getting treatment. Nothing else really needs to matter for the time being. Not until you’re feeling better. Even if you’re at the end of your treatment sessions and you are still not feeling a change, that doesn’t mean it isn’t a success. Some start feeling the affects once treatment is finished. Worst case scenerio, you don’t get a lot of relief … there are still options.

Please don’t give up hope. Relief is out there, keep on fighting.
