Speaker: Leonie Duncan
What, if any, hesitation did you have prior to initiating TMS therapy?
Leonie Duncan: Um, I had a hesitation about, starting TMS because I thought that it was going make my symptoms worse even though there was no evidence supporting that at all. I actually have gotten a lot better from actually doing TMS.
What advice would you give to someone considering this form of treatment?
Leonie Duncan: I say do it. I have told lots of people, my family, my friends that this has helped a lot. It's also noticeable that it's helped. My therapist and psychiatrist see me on Zoom calls for my appointments and they've noticed through the screen that I've become a lot better. I think you should do it. I know it's a lot of money but it's so worth it and I feel so much better.
Describe how TMS therapy has impacted your life.
Leonie Duncan: TMS, impacted my life a lot. It has helped me want to wake up and do, um, my hobbies that I normally did not want to do a couple of months ago. I've gotten really into sewing, um, crocheting and brewery. I'm happy I can do that. And then also, I have overcome a lot. I'm going to the movie theaters tonight and I am, I've been so scared to go to a movie theater, but I'm excited to go and, my anxiety has gone down a lot from that. I'm also flying to Germany tomorrow and I don't like planes but I'm trying to, convince myself about all the positive stuff and it is working. Um, so that has been helping a lot too.
