At a basic level, depression causes changes in a person's mood and behavior. But if you've experienced it, you know that depression isn't simply about feeling "sad"-- all facets of a person's life are impacted. People struggling with treatment-resistant depression who haven't responded to medications or talk therapy over the course of months and years can encounter great difficulty with their career, personal goals, and relationships. That's why when depression lifts, a person may experience improvements in their life outside of just their mood. We asked some of our patients what’s changed for them since starting Greenbrook TMS therapy. Here are their answers:

"Sometimes I would have bouts where the depression got worse and I’d need to go on more medication. That’s what happened when a friend of mine had passed away unexpectedly and it had really thrown me for a loop that my medication couldn’t pull me out of."
