I may be headed for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatments, but nothing scheduled yet.

I wish you only good things from your treatments!
Yes, I’ve heard good things of that type of treatment. They have the machine where i am going but it’s very new tech to them and expensive to use apparently
