Replied to TMS for anxiety (not just depression) — my experience
I'm about to start TMS and have both anxiety and depression. Did your doctor discuss doing both sides? I'm trying to understand what to ask about at my consultation next week.
Replied to Struggling with the waiting period before TMS starts
Sending you strength, Mike. I was in the same spot 4 months ago. Now I'm on session 24 and feeling better than I have in years. The wait is temporary.
Replied to From barely surviving to actually living — TMS changed everything
One year strong! That's amazing. I'm 3 months post-treatment and feeling good but nervous about it fading. Your post gives me hope that the changes can stick.
Replied to How I got my insurance to cover TMS after initial denial
Same experience with UnitedHealthcare. First denial, then approved on appeal with documentation of 4 failed meds. The whole process took about 6 weeks. One thing I'd add: ask for a peer-to-peer review. That's where your psychiatrist talks directly to the insurance company's reviewing doctor. My psychiatrist said that call is what turned things around.
