How TMS Helped Anne Reclaim Her Joy and Optimism

For much of her life, Anne lived under the cloud of depression. Despite trying countless medications and therapies over the years, relief always felt just out of reach. A resident of Franklin, Tennessee, Anne spent her days working part-time at a women’s clothing store and tending to her beloved mini farm of donkeys and horses—activities that brought some joy, but never fully lifted the weight she carried.

Fifteen years ago, while living in Upstate New York, Anne learned about Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. At the time, it was a relatively new treatment option, and she wasn’t sure what to expect. What she discovered changed her life.

TMS therapy, Anne shares, helped her “realign” her brain in a way that no other treatment had. She describes the experience as one of the best decisions she’s ever made for herself. The benefits went far beyond improved mood—she noticed better sleep, sharper focus, and a renewed sense of clarity. Her overall mental outlook brightened, giving her a more optimistic view of the future.

“I would do it again in a heartbeat if I needed to,” Anne says. But the beauty of TMS, she adds, is that most people don’t have to go through it again once treatment is completed. For her, it was a lasting solution.

Her message is clear: “If you’re struggling with depression, don’t wait. Give them a call.” Anne’s story is one of quiet strength, resilience, and the transformative power of the right treatment.
