I'm uncertain of the frequency, just that the intensity was increased or the amount of pulses given per minute. My last TMS treatment was probably 5 weeks ago. To scale my improvement in mood, I would say I went from a 4 to 7.5 (1 being completely debilitated and a 10 being without signs of depression). As a side note, I'm still on Parnate and we're now trying Lamicatal again. Also, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) has been real important because my thought process had been distorted by depression since the age of 13. I'm now 25.
I'm unsure of whether I'll need follow-up treatments in the future. My doctor said not everybody needs it, but some do.
