“I struggled with major depression and anxiety for over four years. During this time, I tried several antidepressants with minimal results. I also went to therapy, which helped me to deal with the depression, yet my symptoms wouldn’t lift and over time became worse. I felt like I was living in a dark cave. My brain function slowed, which affected my short and long-term memory. I was worried that I was experiencing early onset Alzheimer’s, which only added to my depression. I began to give up hope of feeling the normal range of everyday emotions, and the ability to think and recall information quickly. But things have now changed. I am extremely grateful to have been educated about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and to have had the chance to undergo treatment. This technology, along with the supervision and support of Dr. Telford and Dr. Ha, plus the enormous support of the technologist and staff at True North TMS gave me my life back. My brain function is back to normal and I am regularly experiencing happiness again.” — B.G.

Since receiving TMS, “I’m more motivated to get out and do activities. I’m more motivated to talk to and spend time with others. I stopped missing work due to symptoms. I am able to focus better at work. I no longer fantasize about being dead.” – M
