Re: Neurostar TMS treatment for depression - anyon

In reply to Neurostar TMS treatment for depression - anyone?, posted by BING0 on May 26, 2009, at 19:13:22

In DC, you could consult Dr. Sinan Dusyurek, who is offering it in private practice and may be a bit less expensive. A few insurance companies are covering it, although most are not as yet. If you decide to try it, you can download a form from Neurostar which is designed to help speed up insurance company coverage,

I have had TMS in the past, and found it very, very helpful. The good effects did not last more than a few months, though. Presently, I'm doing well with therapy, and do not feel that I need it, but if my depression worsened, I would definitely have it again. It does some wonderful things for depressed brains- like increase the blood flow in your left hemisphere and activate the neurons there (the left hemisphere is the more hopeful, problem-solving side of the brain), and damp down the over-activity of the HPA axis and the amygdala in the limbic system. So it really takes aim at the crucial things which have gone wrong physiologically in major depression.

If you are suffering from severe depression, this is well worth a try.
