I know these therapies do work for some people but with TMS, I just don't believe the efficacy research. After 7-years of unrelenting suicidal depression literally trying every therapy (short of DBS which has been recently proven ineffective) I found a psychiatrist who was willing to prescribe Nardil (an MAOI) after 2-weeks, I have been 100% free of depression- The first time in 30-years- Unbelievable...A true miracle.

That is pretty amazing. I am glad you feel better on Nardil. My psychiatrist is gearing towards an MAOI because I don't respond to much either. I hear they are more helpful than other anti-depressants but have more side effects and food restrictions.
