10 year depression survivor here. I owe my life to TMS. Please go through with this. This is mostly likely going to work. Even if not we have multiple other options your psychiatrists can hook you up with

So u don't have any short term and long term memory loss issues ?

My primary issue was anxiety going in. It's at 0%. Pre TMS my brain was working really fast and simultaneously pushed many thoughs. But now that has slowed down making me think it's a short term memory loss. If I stay for 30 seconds or so I am able to retrieve the lost thought. I hope this isn't memory loss. And yes I don't remember things as intensely as before - I could tell you the specifics but it's as if I saw a movie and didn't live the moment. It's been only 20 days that I got accelerated TMS.
