Thanks so much for standing up for so much who suffering from psychiatric meds 🙏
TMS changed my life for the better ❤
I’m glad to hear it. I had my first mapping session today. Oof. I know it comes with risk, but I am hoping for the best.
So, if TMS is harmful, meds are harmful, & alternatives are expensive & ineffective, what are depressed people supposed to do?
Get a good diet, excersize, get sun, talk to someone, build ur faith in God, realise depression and anxiety r apart of life, help others, listen to music, spend time with the ones u love, appreciate what and who u have
@@bonniedawson8936 @Bonnie Dawson - LOL!
I can tell you have never suffered from Chronic Major Depressive Disorder ......
@@montesa9136 u don't know me or what trauma I've been thru. Or how they cause brain damage. There r so many Dr's coming out about this. Dr Peter Breggin is one of the main ones. This is just one video. ua-cam.com/video/rb2jTlgjl1I/v-deo.html
They’ll have to wait for a couple more decades until something else emerges.
Focus on helping others?
Thanks for sharing this testimonial, very helpful. So sorry James that you went through that hell... Best of wishes on your recovery.
Thank you so much for this. I am so sorry to hear about your injury due to TMS treatment. Terrifying. I had my first session today, did the mapping thing, I definitely fall in the group where I’m so desperate I’ll try anything. But thanks to this interview I will be on the lookout for things that aren’t right, and I’ve let my husband know too, so if we feel I need to stop I will. I am majorly depressed, have ptsd and severe anxiety, and am additionally doing EMDR therapy while I do the TMS to extra help. I am active, eat well, I exercise and run (helps my arthritis too), but there’s things I haven’t been able to shake still. The psychiatrist I am seeing absolutely has no worries about TMS, seems to be a common theme, but it’s a good thing to be skeptical about because… look at what can happen. Anyways, thanks again, much love.
The long term side affects r never given with ANY of these treatments meds too. How can Dr's do this after taking the hypocratic oath. I can't understand how meds r given to children either. All the meds and treatments cause brain damage and lead to worsening conditions and eventually dementia. Meds ruined my life. I wanted to get professional help after attempting suicide. We need to start holding these people accountable!
Amoxicillin causes dementia?
And - coming from a non-professional/lay person - why would we NOT think this would be harmful!! I was actually thinking of suggesting to my husband that he check this out for himself! (And I'm a person who doesn't even trust vaccines!) I guess we just get desperately seeking solutions. He is 78, has always had anxiety/panic attacks and now has tremors. His brothers also have depression/anxiety/panic attacks. One of them has had ECT treatments in the last couple years. What you are doing in researching and making it and your experience public is so important. Thank you. p.s. Also think back - there was a time when "medical professionals" would BLEED people!! 🥴
maybe check out this book: Dr. Georgia Ede "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind" - sometimes its not that we need another 'treatment' or 'external thing' - but we need to look at what we're eating or putting in our bodies and, instead of adding things, take things away! Good luck to your husband.
I’ve battled anxiety and depression my whole life. Next Level Neuro has helped me so much. I took their long covid program and it gave me exercises to stimulate your nervous system and brain. It’s so much better than meds. I have some lingering anxiety and considered TMS but after hearing your story I realize I don’t want to chance it. I continue to improve with my exercises and self care and I get to trust and be patient with the process.
Could you share the exercises please? 😊
@waves353 there are hundreds of exercises and you start slowly and assess which ones work for you and build from there modifying as you go. I can send you the info of who to reach out to that teaches the course.

Psychiatry is seriously flawed, most of it is just about masking the problem rather than getting to the root cause but do we have better tools available?
But this is modern western medicine for you. You can try searching up holistic medicine, and TCM
@@shawnleong3605 The data is seriously lacking from what I’ve found. That’s part of why doctors push drugs because there’s funding to create data on them.
Holistic medicine isn't covered by insurance and what is TCM?
I wish I could give 1000 thumbs up in agreement.
In your video here you don’t mention the fire alarm story you mention in your article.
I don’t understand when you say you found a young neurologist that believes you. But previously you said that your brain scan was not normal. So, if your scan was not normal every doctor that reviewed your scan would have had to believe you. A person I know had TMS treatments many years ago. She had no adverse symptoms and it improved her severe depression. The medication‘s were not working. I am sorry that you had a bad experience with your treatment which left you with a disability. The lesson to learn is we must leave a toxic job it is not worth are health. You are 100% correct Jobs do not care about their employees. We are all just a number and can be replaced very easily. We must be the CEO of our health. Please read the book The Myth of Normal. It will improve your mental and physical health it deals with the root cause of depression and anxiety.
13:00 mins
23:00
27:00 felt drunk and stupid after doing it
35:20 the doc at tmc said he got a new neurological injury
45:00 most common injuries reported or adverse effects
58:05 they say it is safe but everyone gets harmed but they might not know it.
Did he sue the doctor who gave him TMS? How often did he meet with the doctor during the course of TMS?
37:30 Did he get a QEEG done?
You stopped me from pursuing TMS. My psychiatrist was pushing it because many meds weren’t helping. I mentioned that it can be harmful and he laughed it off. I am pursuing spraVato now but wonder what the harm is with it.
spraVato is not safe either, why are you pursuing that?
@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 can you explain more.
I'm looking into both of these. I got to get relief soon. I been bad for over a year. If it hurts me it does
@@JohnStearnesJWSthat’s where I’m at. I just got approval, had my first mapping session today. I understand the risks but I am at a breaking point. So here we go. Wishing you well, hope things have improved some ❤️
Could someone on here tell me how TMS affected them?
I got a jab of antipsychotics in my house. Now i don't feel safe anywhere. The meds zyphadera is giving me suicidal thoughts.
Has James done any investigation into Dr. Jerry Tennant’s Biomodulator?
Thank you in advance and thank you to everyone at Medicating Normal”
The experience James is describing sounds horrible. I looked on the web and there are all these clinics offering this method and they are all saying that it is safe except for some minor side effects. The technique described sounds barbaric. They seem to have no idea what they are doing.
gaslighting seems to be the standard, not the exception, when it comes to medical treatment these days
Homie could use an Amen clinic.
Maybe it cause harm do to inflammatory factors. Even geomagnetic storms can cause inflamation. I dont know for certain, but I think I have prediliction for geomagnetic storm inflamation, but I started taking heme-iron and that shit calmed down.
With all the toxins we are overloaded with, inflamation bio-markers are on the rise.
It sounds as if the response led to PTSD. Your body wanted to go at a lower rate and you let them override your gut instincts. That could lead to trauma and PTSD that can lead to a variety of symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, etc.
51:25 I too have severe increase of suisidal thoughts and panic attacks after just 2 sessions, don't think I will continue this sham
INFORMED CONCENT IN MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENTS WOULD DESTROY THEM. lol
On treatment 5 of 36. At 90% goal is to get to 120. It's like a painful woodpecker behind the eye. Thetaburst method. "Is this supposed to be that painful?" Adjustments dont make a difference really. Def feel like im an outlier here. I would say the positive part comes from having gone through an intense experience. One could also just take a cold shower... which is free, requires no meds, and is essentially the same effect on the nervous system.
snuppy puppy says hi!
Not all depression is a perfectly normal emotional response to what is going on in their lives!
Many of us have lifelong relentless depression which is not a response to anything that has happened to them
There are many roads that lead to this disorder
Please look into vegetarian, vegan, or Mediterranean diets. Dopamine is a feel good hormone that is a product of many of these diet's foods. Green bananas, oats, beans, tofu, etc are just some of the foods that can pump up the dopamine that drives your motivation and happiness. It's just food, but it might be just what you need. There is a book titled, The Dopamine Diet, that may help guide you along.
@@thebackbuddy748 @theback buddy - Thanks for the info! I've done all those diets for 40 years. I never really noticed much difference, except that my bank account was empty, which is depressing in itself.
Diet is important, but it's only a tiny part of a huge complex picture. Street people eat out of garbage cans & most of them aren't depressed!
I believe, the main overriding factor to depression is your genetics. If you got bad genes, you might as well write your life off
Most forward thinking countries are allowing Physician Assisted Suicide for people who have prolonged psychological suffering.
My country has passed the legislation allowing it. I've applied, & am Ready to Go .......
@@montesa9136 truly sorry to hear that.
I realize the extensive long term damage TMS did to me. Please steer clear of this treatment. There are more natural ways. You are normal and having normal reactions to life's traumas. 😮. Wake up, takr your power back.
How are you now ?
Did they try changing the side of the head they stimulated with TMS?
Really not sure it matters. 86 billions neurones, really don’t see why people think the clumsy changing of position of a magnet can improve accuracy.
@@labyrinthpassenger1883 The further the magnetic field is from the skull, the broader the area of the magnetic field (decreased accuracy). the position is critical for increasing the odds of a response. This is why many places have abandoned using the 5cm rule in favor of the beam protocol or MRI guidance.

How is he able to do all this research with cognitive impairment but not able to hold down a job? I’m genuinely asking here, not trying to be condescending.
He is doing it at his own pace.
I (Nicole) - the interviewer - am incredibly cognitively impaired as well. When you're like this, you just take a really long time to do anything, and you pace yourself. Typically, I take on one manageable task daily, and I schedule interviews 2 weeks apart. People can look and appear well but be dealing w/ significant impairment.
@@MedicatingNormal What is your IQ?
@@martinlutherkingjr.5582 you said you did not want to be condescending and yet you asked that question? Sounds contradictory…
@@shawnleong3605 You don’t think IQ test have any validity?
I HAD IT FOUR YEARS AGO AND STILL HAVE NOT RECOVERED,
