I'm booked in for TMS treatment and this has really put me off. I'm severely depressed, and you're literally saying you have to be disciplined and motivated, with a can-do attitude and a pep in your step, or treatment won't work. Seriously? You think this is helpful? Do you understand depression or not? What an annoying and unhelpful video.
Very good video. This is really helpful and so spot on! Keep Up the great work my fellow nurses! You’re on point! ❤ thank you for your understanding and compassion!
clicked off due to music and im neurotypical
How much?
It's a fucking commercial.
What a surprise. An antidepressant that causes suicidal thoughts , or may not get rid of depression. Oh yea and the bladder problems if you ask doctors about the side effects they ignore you. While big pharma gets richer off your misery. Anti depressants cause MORE DEPRESSION!!!
I come from india and im constantly battling depression people around me are thinking that im a psychopath, dumb, stupid because im not doing anything properly. But sir this made me feel better because I thought that its my fault that im making others feel bad. But now i know that its just an illness and not my fault. Thankyou sir now the guilt in which I was living is relieved. Thankyou sir for this video 🙏🏻♥️
Oh I was nobody believed me when I spoke up
Oh I have it
To all my ADHD friends, how are you guys combatting these problems, without medications or if you don’t plan yet to resort in medication
Can Commercial CDL drivers subject to DOT drug testing and regulation receive this treatment without DOT concerns affecting their careers by the DOT if detected in urine/hair sample?
Here’s something the three of you should know. People with ADHD get bored easily. Playing the same ten note pattern over and over again in the background becomes the only thing I can hear. Also, if you really need to have music playing in the background hire a sound editor or at least lower the volume.
Thank you, appreciated your closing comments, any progress on FDA approval for treatment resistant bipolar II?
I've used a tDCS device and it has helped me. It seems a very similar type of therapy to TMS.
I had 8 unresponsive medications and did not respond to 32 sessions of TMS. It was because after 16 years and 6 psychiatrists later, I had undiagnosed ADHD. Ever since the age of 14, I had mental health providers say my trouble focusing was just depression when it wasn't. It was only after the TMS therapy that any mental health providers started to believe me when I said there was something else going on. You can't stimulate serotonin production to get out of a dopamine deficit in the brain. Edit to add: The TMS clinic I went to had a cookie cutter approach with only one treatment protocol for everyone, and doctor on site only 2 days per week. I pretty much had zero access to anyone to voice my concerns during the treatment. Despite them saying the machine wouldnt stimulate motor nerves, I would have either my eyelid or my fingers twitch no matter how they placed the coil.
Well that was a whole lot of nothing. It doesn't clearly help any patient, and ofcourse it can't replace talk therapy or medications, because they simply want to add one more overpriced scam to the docket, the whole of which could be replaced with good diet and lifestyle.
I would also recommend that a clinic has an insurance specialist who is an expert in getting insurance authorization for tms. That should be standard
People with ADHD _might_ need to take two Concertas to cope with the terrible annoying banjo 🪕 in the background and understand what you are saying. Ask Me How I Know!
I was about to comment on the annoying music. Saw the above same comment . It is serious subject. My daughter just attempted suicide, i want to listen clearly what the presenter said, as we are a foreigner can't understand American English well. This music making it worst.
Click on the subtitles so you can read the text. Hope your girl is doing better. I’ve been close to where she’s been and it’s dark. That’s good that you are there for her. Best of luck 😔

Loud ur bacground racket is
I have ADHD and wanted to listen to this but had to turn it off I can’t listen to you speak and the distracting music at same time it’s annoying as fuck
I cannot stand the background music. I’m trying to listen to the lecture, all I hear is the damn music in the background.
Agreed. Sorry but I took down my thumbs up.
How long does it last? For the cost, 250-300$ per session X 20-40 sessions .. 🇨🇦 not covering it yet. Work insurance only covers whatever mental health coverage limit is. This definitely should be covered by our provincial insurance..
I’m desperately suicidal with late diagnosed ASD and ADHD at 56 yrs . But I can’t filter out what you’re saying from the music. What a waste of probably good information.
THE MUSIC IN THE BACK IS DISTRACTING ME! 😫
Oh, please. Trust me, it"s a scam. ?45 visits? It's laughable that they think people will buy that. Never Trust them. It's all about the cash $$$$$. Din't be stupid, here. They are excellent salesman. On Commission.
Please get rid of the musak. It really undermines your presentation. You are an expert in your field so you don't need any props except yourself. You are extraordinarily well-spoken so let us hear your resonant and easy to listen to voice.
I’m 55 and I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I can function well enough to get by most of the time using drugs, counseling, exercise, diet and other interventions. It’s a delicate balance and I still fall into periods of major depression frequently. In a good year I’ll only have one or two. My primary care doctor just suggested TMS. I’m trying to decide. I’m in the US, so access to any care means fighting an insurance company. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the fight. My biggest fear is that I’ll achieve partial success or that I’ll see improvement only to have it snatched away because the insurance company doesn’t cover follow up treatments.
Do your research!
Omg…I wanted to listen to all of this but I can’t because of the background music. PLEASE turn it off!
Spravato doesn’t work. Took bi-weekly for a year.
Excellent information, Thank you.
My wife is beginning TMS this week after dealing with treatment resistant depression for 5 years. Nothing has helped so far.
If you could, keep us updated on how it's going for her, please.
Great, I hope it helps. Unfortunately medication for depression has no benefits for 25% of patients so trying an alternative is a great idea.
We have a Black Sea City with low intensity magnetic beach in Republic of Georgia. it's a low intensity magnetic beach created by river, which brings black Magnetite sand from mountains and deposits it on the area. In times of Soviet Union it was heaven for kids with bone disease and cardiovascular problems. You go there in Summer, stay 2 weeks, enjoy beach every day and simultaneously getting treatment. Sounds good? when you first go there the sand sticks to your skin, but after 10 day spend there, I guess magnetic balance restores and it does not stick any more.
TMS did nothing for me. Does not work for everyone.
Why did it not work? Did you go through all the treatments? ..as it's expensive does your insurance Co cover some of the cost? please 🙏 respond back asap...as im now not sure if I should go through with this treatments option? or Dr want me to go under ECT? 🙏 please help ❤
can't hear over the music :(
When I did TMS four years ago, a creative streak came alive in me. It was so unexpected, but very exciting. I became a writer and got involved with our local theater community.
Mondo cool! So how are you now?
Another scam psychiatric treatment. A placebo at best.
Excellent talk, well prepared, to the point, so much needed! THANK YOU!
Its good for depression but you cant get it if youre depressed wth?
Can esketamine lead to tinnitus or exacerbate it ?
The background music in your videos is creeping into the foreground. Maybe dial it back some, it’s a bit distracting.
Been hanging in there for more than 20 years I’ve tried all kinds of meds including Tms nothing has gotten better in fact im much worse I can’t do this anymore im sick of meds treatments my mind and body is tired im really at the point of giving up this mental illness has stopped my life im done
One more day. Hang in there one more day. Then tomorrow, hang in there for one more day.
ECT?
Tms I I committed my time and prepared for it mentally but I can see TMS did not work for me. It actually make me feel worse I’m having worse, depression and anxiety than before. I don’t know what else to do.
Wow, I'm at 7:30 and feel I'm being lectured to, and it's about as demeaning as people who say 'pull yourself together and snap out of it' to a clinically depressed or suicidal person. You can tell this lady has no idea what the lived experience of severe depression is, and is clueless as to how stressful she makes 'recovery' sound. How awful.
Hi, I am thinking about what to watch or listening during the TMS session. I think it matters as it effects what you are thinking meanwhile. Am trying to think of something along the line of positive affirmation or relaxation .... ?
Funny how big farma is catching up with old hippies!!! Special K baby!!! SHEESH
@real talk mental health Does anyone read comments? Can barely hear the conversation over the damn "music". Please fix it !
good information
Do people need to stop taking medications for depression/ anxiety before trying TMS?
I have heard its fine to take medication while being treated. You may find after your treated fully you may need less medication or you may need the same amount of medication. I would think it is determined by you and your doctor. I am not a medical professional but have been researching this treatment and intend to start TMS very soon. I wish you well on your mental health journey. It will be a winding road but stay strong you are worthy and your family and loved ones need and want you in their lives.
@@paulbergey1917 Thank you so much. Good luck.
All I can say is that my nephew is doing the treatment. I literally found out yesterday, he’s off of EVERYTHING! I haven’t asked if it was his choice or his doctors guidance. But going all natural after 30 years of being on SSRIs and benzodiazepine/Adderall I think I would explode. Most likely end myself, so how the F is this possible if you need to be clean!? I wish they could just put me in a coma to detox from years of pharmaceutical poisons. 🤔 I wonder if that’s a thing…..
@@zjediniteSo sorry to hear all that. How did ur nephew come off his medications?
@@jameswalker68 dude he did it cold turkey! Crazy, I can’t fathom doing that myself. I try to reach out to him at least 3 times a week and he replies when he’s ok with communicating. I don’t even sweat that bc I 💯 understand him, I’m kinda the same way. But the last thing he gave up is the weed and alcohol. Which I was really happy to hear. He used those two things mildly tho, nothing crazy. Like a joint every other day and a few beers in between, but he becomes someone else while under the influence. I’m just glad he stopped that shit
