How TMS therapy pulled me out of depression

EL Paso

Everyone has a moment in their lives when they receive a phone call that changes their life. For me, that call came in May 2018. My friend was watching “Dr. Oz” when she saw a segment on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy, a new procedure to cure depression.

TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain.

That same day I spoke to my friend, I began an internet search to learn about the procedure and whether it was available to me in El Paso.
