My son has had serious depression for four years, was hospitalized twice, and had undergone years of counseling and medication changes in hopes of giving him some relief from the hopelessness and despondency that had taken over his life. Upon graduation from high school, he seemed to have fallen into a deeper depression, sometimes crying for hours, and completely inconsolable. We came to Dr. Daniela Stamatoiu MD without any pre-conceived notion that TMS treatment would be different in treating my son's depression. Half way through the six week treatment, we noticed positive changes in his mood, and by the end of the treatment it was miraculous, his four year bout with depression had ended. I am not a scientist, doctor, or therapist, but as a mother, this seemed to be the missing piece in treating my son's severe depression. His medication resistant depression was now responding to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and correcting the area in the brain responsible for major depressive disorder. The fact is, in six weeks time, I have seen my son go from severely depressed to a normal, happy, functioning 17-year-old. He is spending time with friends again, hiking, biking, and just "chilling", working at a part-time job, reading again for enjoyment, learning to drive, and beginning to plan his future. This treatment has changed our lives.

I was severely depressed over a period of three years. I tried several antidepressants but nothing really seemed to work. I had a severe allergic reaction. My family was very poorly impacted by the whole problem of my depression. By the end of the TMS treatment, things were better than I could have imagined. After that six week, I was so excited that my life was starting to resume. It could actually get better and that I had more to look forward to.

During that time, it was probably the darkest time in my life. I was sad and miserable all the time. Before when I was going through depression, I felt hopeless. Since TMS, my perspective on life has been so positive that I know there is hope.
