From your last post, it was starting to sound as though the rTMS was moderately helpful. As a veteran myself, I think it is a very benign, moderately helpful trestment which has the very valuable property of lowering chronically high cortisol levels and allowing the hippocampus to function more nearly as it does in health -producing new neurons each day.
But it is almost always a temporary trestment, increasing brain health only temporarily. You have indicated that you have some interpersonal difficulties (don't we all!). Have you had a good trial of therapy in which the relationship to the therapist is important and you can develop more intimate and satisfying ways of relating to others? Successful treatment always seems to involve both the physical and emotional aspects of anxiety and depression. I know I keep saying the same thing here, but it has really proven to be true for me!
