    Hey, yes I've done it, I can only speak of my experience but it was incredibly helpful to this day ( I had my treatments in 2017)

      Thank you for the reply! I'm glad it was helpful for you. My neurologist recommended it but after reading some reviews online I'm skeptical. Just curious what other's experiences have been like. But good to know you had a good outcome from it!

      Being skeptical is pretty normal I just went for it as I was desperate to reduce the depression I was continually experiencing. Speaking to the psychiatrist at the clinic in London ( I live in the UK) re-assured me as I could of spent countless hours reading reviews of people saying it worked or didn’t work. I really didnt have anything to lose and was willing to give anything a go. I really didn't want to keep taking medication either because to me it was daily reminder that I was 'depressed' or needed ongoing treatment. With doing TMS i just wanted an intensive period of treatment then get on with my life and not identify as a depressed patient anymore, that was annoying me more than anything. Its hard to recommend a treatment, based on my own subjective experience but it appears that TMS has prevented me feeling the pain of a relapsing into a depressive episode since my sessions, and I do wish others who have been regularly depressed get that chance, and I hope TMS works in the same way for you.
