Hi Glenn! Nice to hear from you! I am doing really well with *maintenance* TMS every two to four months. I've never gone back down into the really severe depression I had in 2002, although I still do have a mild-to-moderate amount which recurrs every few months, and seems to be easily eliminated by the TMS. I do go to psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy twice a week, which has been very helpful in addressing the Complex PTSD which is the basic cause of the depression. I don't take AD's any longer, which, for me, does make for a much better quality of life, sexually, weight-wise and motivation-wise!
Thank for remembering and asking about my hubby! He too undertook a novel treatment- for locally recurrent prostate cancer- IMRT radiation at Sloan-Kettering in New York, and is considered cured! The IMRT (Intensity Modulated) radiation can deliver far more radiation to a much smaller area, so it is much more effective, and didn't leave him with horrible side-effects. So, between the important initials in our lives-TMS and IMRT, we both feel blessed and very fortunate.
Will you let me know how you are? You're in the UK, aren't you?
