Sarah's TMS Journey

"Before I began TMS therapy, there wasn’t a time I didn’t feel bad. I didn’t do anything – I was constantly

in the house. I didn’t even have a rollercoaster of emotions; for me it was just a flatline with a dip sometimes. Now that I’m at the end phase of TMS treatments at Greenbrook TMS I feel a lot better. I am noticing I have more energy, I am laughing more and I’m not as withdrawn. My parents noticed my improvement before I did, probably two or three weeks into treatment."
