I don't know if anyone has a similar experience or has more knowledge on this subject, but I've experienced a "residual effect" almost 2-3 weeks after my TMS treatments have ended. My mood seems to be gradually still improving. Sometimes it takes a while for your depression to get better. My treatments were increased in both duration and intensity, which may have helped.
Again, I'm not entirely certain if my understanding is 100% accurate, but from what I understand, neurons are being repaired and reactivated by the magnetic pulses. So instead of the classic approach of balancing neuro-chemicals with medications, TMS focuses on the actual structure of the brain.
