TMS treatment anybody had any experience with this?

[Jinxed]

It's real enough that it made four people I know take their own lives.
That's pretty fucking real.

At the minute I can think of 5 of the top my head who committed suicide, I also knew 4 of them personally. 3 of the 5 did it over a woman. One of them was about 20 and the other two were 40's and 50's and their wives were having affairs.

Hi guys, i just found this and seems very interesting. I suffered from depression few years back but after treatment all gone and i became again me, the optimist and positive person i always was . Now i feel like its coming back so i was looking online and found this TMS or TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION . Do any of you had an experience with this?

DEALING WITH THE CAUSE – NOT THE SYMPTOMS
For too long, doctors and psychiatrists have had no way of targeting the specific areas of the brain involved in mental health issues. Antidepressants and other drugs impact on the whole brain, as does ECT.

Now there is an alternative, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which is a targeted treatment to the particular brain area.

TMS involves the application of a targeted, pulsing magnetic field to excite or inhibit the nerves in the specific area of the brain that is causing the condition. TMS was approved by NICE, the UK advisory body that determines what treatments are acceptable in the NHS, in December 2015 as an effective and safe treatment for Depression. It is widely used in the US, where the FDA approved it in 2008, and in France, Germany and other European countries.

TMS treatment is a real alternative for patients who have tried counselling and antidepressants. Patients experience a different type of recovery with TMS to other treatments – their mood improves, they regain motivation and confidence and report improvements in appetite and energy levels.

The treatment is an outpatient procedure with minimal side effects. It is well tolerated, long lasting, comfortable and you can return to work immediately afterwards.

TMS treatment can be life changing for patients and their families

I too be interested as attended the meetings and take pills but when I'm alone its very bleak. I am suffering as many years and have attempted to end it several times, there are nights I go to bed and hope I never wake up.
I am up for trying anything as nothing works for long

I would be cautious about these things. They prey on peoples desperation. It a bit like these diet fads every three months that promise you how to lose weight.

There was a documentary on netflix about these people who had really weird diseases like lyme disease and they were trying all these weird things to try and overcome their illnesses. Their desperation not to be ill and in pain made them naive. And people took advantage then.

Thank you for response , yeah its a little unheard this treatment with magnetic whatever... that why i was curious if someone tried this. I don't like to be the first one lol ... reviews are important in any field u know . And people being naive and desperate to try all this weird things i have one in family lol. My father have diabet and he have seen on tv some commercials about a miraculous pills who heal u from diabet and he ordered without to tell anybody or to his GP (wich he could ring to ask as they are friends from childhood) . Then who was close to die? Him . He felt very very bad from that pill and when we found out we all was upset on him to do such a silly thing to take unknown medication without any advice . so yea, is dangerous to do things u know nothing about . Before i had depression and really affected my life , went to doctor in my country, took the treatment and after 6 months i was me again. But depression is known to come back so now i feel its coming back.. i see her from the distance lol. Try to keep her away doing things i enjoy and exercises. Exercises give u that mental and physical sensation of 'well being' .. very very important...

So medication didnt had result? THis is bad... and if u have suicidal thought this is worse... When i had depression first time didnt had suicidal thoughts , the doctor asked me if i have but i didnt, i just felt sad and unhappy with no reason and all the time i feel to cry and sometimes i cried and my bf at that time asked me why am i crying but didnt know why i just felt sadness and to cry... weird thing this depression , then my only brother i had died and this didnt helped me at all but medication helped me a lot. Actually healed me. IN the day i felt i dont need anymore pills i just stopped took i it. Its says to not stop suddenly because depression will come back but in my case i was fine . All this self motivation didnt helped me i think the worse battle is to fight with your brain as u cant control your thoughts. That why i think pills are better they do chemical the changes in your brain u need. Maybe u need to change the treatment and the doctor? try to see different doctors. u know some are good some not they might give u something to work in your case... good luck ;*

Poor them , i learned in the hard way when i was teenager that nothing worth to take your life special for a person who betrayed u . There are plenty of women out there and if u dont find one then better alone then with unsuitable person . She will not care if u die , but people who really love u they will suffer: your family , parents, brothers. Is very important in this moments to have friends around , they help special in this cases when people have suicidal thoughts.

I'm not sure what that is. I mean I've been broken-hearted before but it never triggered any suicidal thoughts. I've also been suicidal before but that was at the tail end of a marathon drink and drug binge.

The people I knew didn't take their lives over cheating spouses, they were all single. There was nothing that anyone could point to and say "well that's the reason right there".
Two of them were brothers. They say it can run in the family.

Funny you say it runs in the family. I knew 4 of those people personally at different points in my life. 2 of them were twin brothers, one od'd intentionally on tablets of some sort and the other brother shot himself in the head some years later and both were in their 20's, the 23 yr old hung himself within the first hour of a new year's day over a girl and the other man was someone who used to visit the house growing up to see my aul fella, hung himself over losing his wife through an affair.

Pills work for a while, they only settle you a bit not no cure.
I have been to the group sessions and have seen specialists too.
I Know its bad when one can't control their own mind but we can't help it
