As Brighton's wife, I can tell you that Brighton suffered deeply with his depression. And I won't lie, we both suffered from his depression. After trying multiple medication therapies over years, we finally found this treatment and after LOTS of research we decided to invest in it and give it a try. After 6 months, Brighton is still depression free which is remarkable since he had weekly episodes before. It was worth every penny and has transformed his life and our life together. I only hope it works for other people as well as it did for my husband.
@@BrightonsReviewsandMore There's lots of hit or miss by province but there are often work arounds. If I was a sufferer I'm sure my "rust" would plug up the system. Seriously glad it works. P n D
Where are you from? I’m in Toronto and the quote I received was $15 000. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and been suffering with this disease for 22 years. I’ve tried everything and I need a miracle to get me out of this misery.
Glad to see you're getting better and better bro❤🎉 As someone who has been dealing with GAD(generalized anxiety disorder) and panic attacks for several years, medicine worked well for me and i got really better after 4 years but, after finishing the drug treatment and leaving the medicines, my problems came back again... Now my psychiatrist recomended me to try rTMS treatment... now I've done 2 sessions and I'm going to have 3 sessions per week to 20 sessions... And i want to say, from the first session, my anxiety is decreased and i can feel it... If anyone is reading this comment and has doubts or nervous about this treatment, i recommend you to try it and be sure you will feel better soon ❤
I love to hear your results! Congratulations. Unfortunately, I've needed some maintenance treatments to keep my depression at bay. I was hoping I'd be in the small group that was cured forever. But I'm actually in the bigger group that needs a few extra jolts per year. Not too bad though!
@@BrightonsReviewsandMore there's nothing wrong with it bro... Just like what you said, I was hoping to get cured for the rest of my life too,, and when i realised that my GAD and panic is coming back,, honestly i was so sad for that... I was like: why should i have to get treatment again...when will this end? But, when i talked to my psychiatrist, he said: "we're going to try rTMS and we hope to get good results my dear, but EVEN if you use medicine for rest of your life, it's ok...! There's nothing wrong with it... Just like someone who has diabetes and needs to use some Meds per day to keep them alright,, or someone who has blood pressure and needs to use some Meds per day to keep their blood pressure alright,, It's just like that...some people need to use some meds per day to keep their mood alright... Don't balme yourself for anything... There's nothing wrong with it..." And when i thought about it🤔, my perspective changed... i realised he's right...! What's the problem with that? Now, I'm hoping to get better by this rTMS treatment (7 sessions so far, and i can feel the good differences), but even I'll be have to use some Meds after that, I'm totally fine with it... just like the other people who my doctor said as examples... So I'm thankful there are so many ways to help us... To keep us fine...☺️❤️ TMS or medicine doesn't stop the life for us to get cured , life is going on, but they help us to keep ourselves better and move on 🤗
The tech hooking you up everyday is a big deciding factor of how well you do. My doctor did not map me in the right place at all and it was very painful for me. I had to do a lot of fighting to tell them they are messing me up and i pushed to go to a location 2 hours away with a better doctor. I did 4 rounds. I found it helpful but the treatments were free for me. Electric shock also did wonders for my dad
I am about 2/3rds through my TMS treatment. Sadly when they did my mapping I came out needing a stronger than average pulse so my sessions are actually quite painful but I am just in the last few days starting to feel a difference. Im starting some light exercise, home projects I’ve been wanting to do and self isolating less. If it works it will have been worth it.
Congratulations on your success so far. I've needed to get some "maintenance doses" starting about 8 months after I completed the first run. And they started checking my "pulse strength" every week. So they adjust it a little. You might ask about that if they aren't doing it regularly. Good luck!
@@BrightonsReviewsandMore Thank you for providing an update - I read all the comments looking for an update so glad I found it - How often do you get a maintenance dose ?
Yes it makes you feel normal again. I'm on my 30th treatment and I'm dealing with unwanted situations with less stress they're not sending me into a depression slump.
I am from Morocco and I suffer from very severe depression... and I take a 20 mg Prozac pill... and I take a 25 mg Anafranil pill. For 6 years ..... But I am tired of the medication and the improvement is not significant = Is this a new treatment, magnetic stimulation of the brain? Does it treat a disease permanently or after a period of time and the disease returns to you?
I've found that it comes back slowly and you need maintenance treatments. For some people it's permanent. For others it doesn't work at all, but for most, maintenance is needed. Best of luck to you!
Were you able to discontinue your antidepressant meds? If so how did that go? I’ve completed two complete TMS treatments but was unable (scared) to discontinue the meds. Been on two of them a long time and so afraid the depression will return. Any suggestions?
Hello, my name is Andrey, I am from Ukraine, after the start of the war I have a severe form of depression. Now I am receiving therapy, but I don’t even know if it will help me. My procedure takes 25 minutes a day. I have already received 9 sessions, but I don’t feel the result yet.
I'm sorry it's not working as well for you! Best of luck. You might be experiencing PTSD from the war. I'm not sure how well this works for that. Other forms of therapy might be better!
Здравствуйте, Андрей! Как сейчас Ваше самочувствие? Стало получше? Я начну через неделю, но немного волнуюсь и переживаю, что станет только хуже. Я с Казахстана.
@@weptun2050 15 сеансов, но мне нужно 30, у меня тяжёлая форма отягощенная травмой. Нет денег пока продолжить лечение. А возможно уже и не продолжу и вернусь на войну.
Wow. If it’s been a few years, the price has likely dropped a lot. They used to need an MRI to determine where to focus. Now they have some mathematical formula to find the right spot. I hope it works for you!
I just got a quote for mine and my insurance covers it and I just have to pay a $20 copay per session. Total cost is $720 for 36 sessions. Have the doctors office check with your insurance.
It's hard to tell. I actually started feeling better when I committed to doing this. It was like I had hope. BTW, I ended up needing another 6 or 7 treatments about 9 months later. I might need to go in for another treatment once a month.
I can feel the difference. When I take the standard test for depression, I score low. I'm still taking some meds. You can try this test online: www.clinical-partners.co.uk/for-adults/depression/a-test-for-depression/ You can take it weekly and think about the prior week when taking it. And track your score.
Wow - I've heard it doesn't work for some people. But I've never met someone who had no impact. Sorry it didn't work for you. I hope you find a different treatment that does work for you!

Fingers crossed here. I only wish more could afford it. P n D
@dave - yeah, it’s pricey if insurance won’t pay for it. It looks like I’m Canada is province by province (some cover the cost, others don’t.)

Thanks for sharing - sorry about your first experience!
I can’t wait to try this! I woke up one day depressed or no reason and now I understand why. My brain malfunctioned
It worked for me as well. Best vacation money I ever spent.
Congrats! Living without depression is a vacation without travel!

After how many sessions u got changes
It's hard to tell. I actually started feeling better when I committed to doing this. It was like I had hope.
BTW, I ended up needing another 6 or 7 treatments about 9 months later. I might need to go in for another treatment once a month.
Still feeling great?
Worked for me for approximately one month and then slipped into the most severe depression I’ve ever experienced.😢😢Glad it worked for you.
I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you find another solution.
