    Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

    I set up an intake consult to try this brain stimulation. I'm doing it for depression and fatigue but I've read some studies that showed improvement in MS patients. I did a search on this site but found no entries.

    Does anyone have experience with TMS? If so, how long did you do it for, ie how many sessions? Any negative effects besides headaches? Any noticeable improvements? TMS is different than transcranial direct current stimulation which I haven't looked deeply into yet but comments on this are welcome too.

    I've had ect several times and it probably had adverse cognitive effects but this procedure can have the opposite. My only concern would be worsening of mental conditions like paranoia but it might actually have positive effects since paranoia could result from inability to correctly process external events. I think it could be a cognitive deficiency.

    If I do go through with it I'll post my experience.

    Thanks for reading take care all

    I have heard of this, but don't know anyone who has tried it. Would love to know if it works for my depression.
