Very well explained!
My son completed 6 weeks of TMS for OCD. I feel it helped with his mental state as a whole, he is happier, he has less mood swings, and it seemed to give him the mood boost that pushed him to participate in exposure response therapy. I would definitely do it again if we notice a backslide.
I am very glad to hear that it helped!
Nice video! Looking forward for more
Thanks!
Thank you so much for getting into the history and the science of TMS. You answered all of the questions that the NP at my treatment center could not answer.
I have a question as far as concurrent treatments. I am currently on my 25th treatment for major depressive disorder. I was an early responder and started seeing results around the 6th treatment. I have had a couple dips but all in all my general mood has improved as well as my creative drive and interest in hobbies and past times. I recently got Covid though and had to put my treatment on hold for 2 weeks. In your opinion, will that time off between treatments affect the amount of progress I make before my last session (36 total)? Is the neuroplasticity affected by lulls in the treatment? Thanks again and looking forward to more videos in the future!
Hi Kim, glad the video was helpful! About your situation, it is of course difficult to predict. But my educated guess is that the two weeks of will not be negative. The neuroplastic changes that you have build up until now don't just disappear. But it may take a few session to reactivate these networks again. So, if possible you may want to add like 3 or 4 session at the end (if that is possible at all). If not, I don't think it would be a huge problem. Just have a look at how you feel after 36 sessions. If you feel good, keep it like it is. If you feel it could be a little better, try and see if you can add a handful of sessions.
In the future I will also dedicate an episode to neuroplasticity and how the dips may occur. Thanks for sticking around!
Thank you for this helpful information. Are you in the US?
Thank you! I am happy that it was useful! I currently live in Minneapolis, MN :)
Maybe an introduction of yourself. Credentials and such.
Thanks! There is some in the beginning, but I will talk about it a little bit more in the beginning of the next time.
