Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy and the forces of Serendipity have conspired to gift me with the completely unexpected chance to see THE HU live tomorrow night at the Moda Center in Portland!
You see, my housemates have two tickets to see Iron Maiden tomorrow but turns one of them can't make it so she asked me if I wanted her ticket (knowing my answer would almost certainly be no).
I was in fact about to say no cuz metal generally isn't for me but she mentioned "oh and some Mongolian band is opening for them, I think they're called Hu or something"
And my eyes all wide I say WTF YOU MEAN THE HU OMG!", shocking both her and her husband that I actually knew about this band they'd never heard of, loved their music (metal blended with traditional Mongolian instruments & throat singing), and am willing to go out of the house for a concert especially on a work night.
The ticket is the serendipity part; the TMS part (36 sessions, final one was last Friday) is the significant improvements that have relieved my severe chronic depression and social anxiety enough that I can actually leave the house like this on short notice with less fear and reluctance.
I might duck out after the HU have finished their set so I won't be out so much later than my bedtime, but I'm delighted such a spontaneous evening out is no longer unthinkable to me.
Also, too, THE HU!!

18 is life.
It took me until my second-to-last session to realize.
My TMS treatment sessions were each 18 minutes long.
Thank You for giving my life back.

I can’t believe I’m writing fanfic again and all it took was getting my brain vibrated in my skull like it was one of those puddings you slap with a spoon.
…gross oversimplification but go get TMS therapy if your doc recommends it so you can get back to writing your favorite tragic idiots in love like I have.

ok i wouldn't normally make a post about mental health in the tags for people to actually see, but if you're considering TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) because you're at the end of your rope, do it.
(obviously consult with your psych, ****I am not your doctor****)
very long commentary + procedure explanation below.
cw for bad mental health, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorder mention (no details, as triggering as this cw tag)
for background, I have had extremely severe depression my entire life, hand-in-hand with suicidal ideation, a severe lifelong eating disorder, ocd, adhd, anxiety, the works. depression, anxiety, and ocd runs in my family, and my family life has historically been incredibly toxic if not outright abusive, as well as having been in abusive romantic/sexual relationships.
i have been on a number of different medications (from SSRIs, SNRIs, anti-psychotics, etc.) with very little success. i have been in various higher levels of care for months at a time. i have tried (medically administered) ketamine. nothing has made a dent.
very recently, i had a severe episode where i was basically bed ridden for six months. it got to the point where my two different therapists, psych, and dietician were all separately recommending a higher level of care. if you're anything like me, you can't afford that shit, let alone taking weeks at a time off from work.
all that to say, ya girl has Been Depressed.
tms was basically a last ditch effort before I would have to do residential, and i didn't want to do that again, only in part because of the aforementioned reasons.
it's not magic. i'm going to say that right away. it's absolutely not going to magically make you happy.
i've been going 5x a week for 6 weeks (none on weekends), and it takes about 30 minutes to do two different stimulations — depression (20 minutes) and ocd (10 minutes). this is my specific regimen, yours might be different. after the 6 weeks and weekly evaluations, I'm tapering down to 3x a week, then 2x a week for 2 weeks (total of 37 sessions). my provider would like me to do 44 sessions total (as opposed to standard 37) but i guess health insurance doesn't always cover the additional sessions, so we're waiting to hear back.
when i started, my evaluation levels were in the 60s. now they're in the 30s. they think they can get me to the teens. i'm already feeling so much relief, i don't know how they think I can feel any better, honestly. my provider used the Beck Depression Inventory, which I just looked up — I am still considered to have severe depression with my score in the 30s, but by god, cutting in half from the 60s? genuinely life changing.
basically, they test your brain regions (and you can get a brain scan for an additional cost and more accurate treatment, but I opted not to) by lightly zapping different regions of your brain to see how your toes and then your fingers twitch. i don't know how it works, but it's how they determine what voltage to use and what areas need stimulation. you're wearing a personal cloth cap with a grid on it to guide them, and the machine itself basically looks like one of those old fashioned hair driers.
it's not painful, but it can be uncomfortable. it feels a little bit like a woodpecker tapping on your skull. if it is painful, tell them. i was feeling a sharp pain in one of my teeth, and they adjusted the positioning. my right hand fingers still twitch when I'm getting the depression zaps, but not the ocd. honestly, I have almost fallen asleep, because it's kind of meditative, and i'm on a very high level. if i'm remembering correctly, it's like 2 seconds on, 10 seconds off? or 5 seconds off? it's not constant.
i read during the depression one, and have to "lightly" trigger myself with the ocd (if you've ever done an ERP/ERP therapy, a gentle version of that so your anxiety is at a 5-7, not a 10 but also not a 3) so I can't read during that one. I listen to music, and my provider has offered to put on netflix or hulu.
during the depression one, the only thing you're really encouraged to do is something mentally positive — don't listen to your Sad Girl TM music, or anything like that. listen/read/watch something that you find pleasant and enjoyable and something that generally makes you happy.
they don't start you at your specific max voltage — they start you low and you build up in increments the first week or so. the first few times are the most uncomfortable, and you might get a headache afterwards, but i never did. after a few sessions, you stop really noticing it.
****there is a VERY (<1%) slight chance of seizures, but i believe only in people who are already epileptic, heavy drinkers, or on specific medications. there is no chance of you going home and having a seizure, it would happen while receiving the treatment.*****
i can not tell you how much my mood has improved since starting this treatment a month and a half ago.
I was really dubious, and didn't have high hopes. I have a friend I met when we were both in a higher level of care who is similarly resistant to depression treatments — she did tms before me and didn't experience much relief. however, ketamine seems to be helping her and it didn't help me! so, remember, every single person is different. what works for me, may not work for you. but i do think it's worth trying.
it doesn't happen right away, and they tell you this upfront. I think I really only started feeling noticeably better around week 3 or 4?
honestly, I think a huge part was just being forced out of the house 5x a week (I was working from home exclusively atp, which was getting me in slight trouble at work despite having permission) forced to interact with other humans, if only briefly/professionally. I scheduled mine at 08:30, right when they open, so I had to force myself to get up at a reasonable time to make the train, get there, etc. and so I didn't have to go on my lunch break or after work.
(a slight disclaimer: at this point in my depressive episode I was using weed to numb out. I wasn't using a lot (at least, by the standards of my former friend group?) but I was smoking a bowl each night. this wasn't a problem for my providers, especially because I'm in a state where it's legal, but do make sure to let them know if you use weed or any other substances, as it will impact the voltages or something. i was told it isn't a problem, so long as i'm not coming to the appointments high. I've been trying to cut down to only a few times a week, and i've been really successful without really any problems, which I'm taking as another sign of my improved mental health.)
I didn't really need the reminder, but the practitioner did remind me a few times that tms does not cure your depression, and it doesn't make you happy.
the way she put it, is it kind of brings the "levels" (of.... what I'm not sure, sorry. google.) of your brain to a more neutral state, which then makes it easier for you to experience happiness or enjoyment, cutting through the fog of depression and anhedonia. this has absolutely been my experience.
like, i'm not going to lie to you and say this has cured me. according to my scores, i'm still severely depressed. but i can not stress how much relief I feel.
I've never been able to get out of bed in the morning, not even when I was a kid, and while I'm still snoozing my alarm until the last possible second, once I'm up? I feel awake. I feel fine. I'm smiling at fucking birds and flowers on my way to the train. I'm not crying over every little thing, and even better? I'm not numb, or trying to be numb because I feel overwhelmed. I feel, god, cheerful waiting for the train to take me to my very boring job. i'm actually looking to make friends and date again, and making creative goals again after months and months of nothing.
no, it hasn't really helped my severely unmedicated adhd — however, I don't really feel the overwhelming feeling of dread at approaching a project that I've procrastinated on for work. i'm honestly still just as distractable, but I'm also finding that cheap sources of dopamine (tiktok doomscrolling, scrolling tumblr) aren't as appealing, and I eventually come back to the task I have to do. do I hate the task less? no, but like, it's more of a necessary evil, as opposed to a crushing despair.
i'll also say it hasn't really helped me progress in my ed recovery. without details on that, i'm at a relatively healthy place after some higher level treatment, and working on maintenance, which everyone tends to agree is much harder than the recovery period. i've done this rodeo a few times, and generally agree. however I can only assume that making progress on that will be infinitely easier when I'm not laying in bed for 20 hours a day.
honestly, the funniest part of this is I've started noticing how much my very incompetent roommate pisses me off. before, I was so depressed I either didn't notice or have the capacity to process how irritating they are (they are the definition of weaponized incompetence, but that's for a different post) because I was so in my head and hopeless, and now? now i'm annoyed, and while that's not, like, an ideal emotion to have towards someone you live with, it's vastly preferable to feeling just nothing. i just roll my eyes to myself, take a deep breath, and move on.
something that was stressed upon me was that, in order for tms to work, you have to put in the work to help it along. like, if your brain is getting set to a neutral baseline, you have to work to keep it from slipping back into depressive habits.
semi-regular exercise like going for a walk on your lunch hour, eating reasonably well, sleeping regularly and enough but not too much, not doomscrolling too much, finding a stimulating hobby like idk crochet or painting or book club — anything that you derive actual enjoyment from. all those really annoying things you hear from people who say things like "have you tried yoga?"
those were so far out of reach for me before. like i've said, i've been quite literally bed ridden all of this year, and not much better in the past. those things actually feel somewhat attainable to me now, for the first time in my life.
honestly, if this is even half as well as how non-mentally ill people feel all the time, I'm a bit furious lol i knew I was starting from a lower rung on the ladder, I didn't realize that rung was literally underground and covered in ice and slime and that most people are miles above me wearing grippy boots. i don't know if this analogy works. whatever.
all of this to say: if you're thinking about tms, and aren't sure because it sounds kind of woo-woo or scary, i'd give it a try.
it's not cheap — my insurance covers everything except my copay, which is $50 per session. that is steep and it adds up. when the alternative was somehow finding the time and money to drop $10k+ on a month+ of residential or php again because I wasn't safe, knowing it honestly may not help much, as it hasn't in the past? it was a pretty clear choice. at least where I go, all insurances were accepted and cover the treatments in some capacity, and I believe a lot also have sliding scales. I'm unfortunately not sure about medicaid/care.
in terms of continuing treatment post-tms, i'm obviously going to continue my medication regimen, and meeting weekly with my outpatient mental health team. many people do maintenance sessions every few months, depending on their mood. we'll see what I need to do.
this post is already a mile long, so if you made it this far, um, gold star! i hope this was at least mildly informative. I know I've used tumblr and reddit to see anecdotal experiences for various medications and therapies, so I'm hoping this reaches at least one person who needs it. I may edit this post at a later date if I think of anything. feel free to ask me questions (within reason, and please with trigger warnings) and I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities, but again, I am one person, with one person's unique experiences, and I am not a doctor. :)

The doctor’s order for the TMS referral sat for a week before anyone even sent it. Because of “staffing issues.” That was an additional week this illness had to kick my ass, and the lady didn’t even offer an apology. She was so nonchalant about it. And then told me it could be another several weeks before I even hear anything.

Anyone have any experience with TMS for depression? I've been doing it for about a week for a medical study and it seems fine. Kinda feels like a big woodpecker in my brain. I was sort of hoping for a knock-on effect re: my anxiety / OCD but apparently those are totally different areas of the brain which the magnet is not currently targeting.

Taskmaster Mood
Either this weeks Taskmaster was worse than last weeks or I'm not getting any better. I only laughed 6 times. Six! But I was a bit cranky during the show because seriously? Sam Campbell got 5 points for his prize task? It didn't even fit the brief! It wasn't a present he received, he just took a dictionary and spent a long time writing question marks in it. I do like when the contestants put time and thought into the prize tasks but it just didn't fit with what was asked. So clearly there are factors other than mood that will affect how much I laugh at a show. For this one I'll put the blame on Greg Davies.

The Role of TMS Therapy in Provo's Mental Health Treatment Landscape
In recent years, the field of mental health treatment has seen significant advancements, particularly in the realm of treatments for individuals struggling with depression. Among these innovations, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy has gained notable attention, especially for patients with treatment-resistant depression. In Provo, Utah, where mental health awareness and wellness are integral to the community, TMS therapy is making a profound impact. This non-invasive treatment is rapidly becoming a cornerstone in the mental health treatment landscape, offering a promising alternative for individuals who have not found relief from traditional treatments. In this blog, we’ll explore the role of TMS therapy in Provo’s mental health treatment landscape, its benefits, and how it’s changing the way depression is treated.
What is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It primarily targets the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with mood regulation. In individuals suffering from depression, particularly those with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), this region of the brain is often underactive. TMS Therapy Provo works by sending electromagnetic pulses through the scalp and skull to activate these underactive areas of the brain, helping to restore normal function and alleviate depressive symptoms.
Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which can have a range of systemic side effects and take weeks or even months to show noticeable effects, TMS therapy provides targeted, localized treatment that can lead to improvements in mood and cognitive function within a relatively short period of time. This makes TMS a highly attractive option for individuals who have not responded well to other treatments.
The Growing Need for TMS in Provo
Provo, a city known for its emphasis on health, wellness, and innovation, has seen a growing demand for alternative mental health treatments. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions are common challenges faced by residents of all ages. According to recent statistics, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience some form of mental illness each year, with depression being one of the most prevalent conditions. In Provo, where a young, active population intersects with a strong sense of community, mental health treatment is a priority, but many people still face barriers to finding effective relief.
For individuals with treatment-resistant depression—those who have not experienced significant improvement from antidepressants, therapy, or a combination of both—TMS therapy provides a valuable option. The rise of TMS therapy in Provo can be seen as a response to the need for more effective, accessible treatments for people suffering from chronic depression.
TMS Therapy: A Breakthrough for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a frustrating and often debilitating condition. When standard treatments like medication and psychotherapy do not yield results, individuals may feel hopeless or trapped in a cycle of ineffective interventions. This is where TMS therapy becomes a game-changer. Clinical research has shown that TMS is an effective treatment for patients who have not responded to multiple antidepressant medications.
One of the reasons TMS is so effective for TRD is its ability to target specific areas of the brain that are implicated in mood regulation. In depression, the prefrontal cortex often shows reduced activity, which can result in persistent feelings of sadness, low energy, and lack of motivation. By using magnetic pulses to stimulate this area, TMS helps to restore normal neural function, allowing patients to experience improvements in mood and overall functioning.
In Provo, mental health professionals have been quick to adopt TMS therapy, recognizing its potential to help those who have not responded to other forms of treatment. Local clinics offering TMS therapy are helping to fill an important gap in mental health care for individuals who may have exhausted other treatment options.
Benefits of TMS Therapy in Provo's Mental Health Landscape
Non-invasive TreatmentOne of the key advantages of TMS therapy is that it is non-invasive. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which requires anesthesia and can have side effects like memory loss, TMS does not require sedation or hospitalization. The procedure involves placing an electromagnetic coil against the scalp to deliver targeted magnetic pulses. This makes TMS a more approachable and less intimidating option for individuals who are hesitant about more invasive treatments.
Minimal Side EffectsTMS therapy is known for its minimal side effects. While some patients may experience mild discomfort or a headache during or after treatment, these effects are typically short-lived and subside quickly. This is in contrast to antidepressant medications, which often come with a host of side effects, including weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue. Because TMS is focused on the brain and does not affect the entire body, patients are less likely to experience widespread side effects.
Faster Results than MedicationsWhile traditional antidepressants can take several weeks or even months to show noticeable effects, many patients begin to feel improvements from TMS therapy after just a few sessions. This makes TMS an attractive option for individuals who need faster relief from their depression symptoms. In clinical studies, many patients report a significant reduction in depressive symptoms after completing a typical course of 20-30 sessions.
Long-term BenefitsFor many patients, the effects of TMS therapy last well beyond the initial treatment period. After completing an initial course of treatment, some individuals continue to experience improvements in mood for months or even years. For others, maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the benefits. This long-term relief makes TMS a valuable option for individuals looking for lasting solutions to their depression.
Improved Quality of LifeBeyond just alleviating depressive symptoms, TMS therapy has been shown to improve overall quality of life. Patients who undergo TMS often report better sleep, increased energy, and improved concentration. These improvements extend beyond mood and can help individuals regain a sense of normalcy in their daily lives, enabling them to return to work, engage in social activities, and reconnect with loved ones.
TMS Therapy's Role in Provo's Mental Health Care System
In Provo, mental health care is evolving to meet the diverse needs of the community. As awareness of TMS therapy spreads, more local clinics are offering this innovative treatment, and mental health professionals are increasingly incorporating it into their treatment plans. TMS therapy plays a crucial role in filling a gap in care for those with treatment-resistant depression, offering an alternative when medications and psychotherapy have not provided relief.
Provo’s mental health providers have embraced TMS therapy because of its demonstrated success in clinical trials and real-world applications. Patients who have struggled with chronic depression for years are now finding hope in this cutting-edge treatment. In addition to its efficacy, the non-invasive nature of TMS therapy makes it a viable option for many people who might otherwise be hesitant to seek treatment.
Furthermore, Provo's vibrant community culture and commitment to mental health advocacy have made it a natural setting for the growth of TMS Therapy Provo. As more people learn about the benefits of TMS, the demand for this treatment continues to grow, contributing to a positive shift in the local mental health treatment landscape.
TMS Therapy in Provo: A Path to Healing
The increasing availability of TMS therapy in Provo represents an important milestone in the city’s approach to mental health treatment. With its high efficacy rate, minimal side effects, and non-invasive nature, TMS offers a promising solution for those suffering from depression, especially treatment-resistant depression. As more individuals in Provo embrace TMS therapy, it is clear that this innovative treatment is playing a pivotal role in the mental health treatment landscape.
For those in Provo who have not found success with traditional therapies or medications, TMS offers a fresh path to healing. Whether as a stand-alone treatment or as part of a broader mental health care plan, TMS therapy is changing lives by helping individuals regain control of their mental health and improve their quality of life.
As the mental health community in Provo continues to prioritize patient-centered care, TMS therapy stands out as a key player in the future of mental health treatment, offering hope and healing for those who need it most.

🧠 A recent 52-week phase 2 study has demonstrated promising results for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a therapeutic approach in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This trial applied a targeted, personalized rTMS treatment over the precuneus—a critical area within the brain’s default mode network (DMN)—in patients with mild to moderate AD.
Key findings from this study:
💡 Targeted Stimulation: The focus on the precuneus leverages its role within the DMN, a network known to be implicated in memory and cognitive function.
💡 Cognitive and Functional Benefits: rTMS slowed cognitive and functional decline over the 52-week period, suggesting that targeting DMN structures might offer a way to preserve function in AD.
💡 Potential Mechanisms: rTMS may enhance neural plasticity and modulate brain network activity, though further studies are needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved.
⚡ These results underscore rTMS’s potential as a non-invasive intervention that might slow AD progression, with personalization based on brain networks offering a new frontier in treatment approaches for this challenging disease.
