Meet Sarah-For 12 years, Sarah thought she’d tried everything. Six different antidepressants. Therapy. Exercise routines she couldn’t maintain. “I’m a broken person,” she’d tell herself. “Depression just wins with me.”
Her doctor had used the phrase “treatment-resistant depression,” which somehow made it feel even more permanent. Like she was resistant to getting better. Like hope itself couldn’t pe*****te whatever was wrong with her brain.
When her therapist first mentioned TMS, Sarah was skeptical. “Another thing that won’t work,” she thought. But something about the way the team at Duluth TMS explained it felt different. They didn’t promise miracles. They didn’t make her feel broken. They just said, “Treatment-resistant doesn’t mean hope-resistant. And you haven’t tried this yet.”
The treatments themselves were easier than she expected—she could drive herself, listen to music during sessions, and go straight back to work. No medication fog. No side effects that made her question if the treatment was worse than the depression.
Around week three, Sarah noticed something small: she laughed at her daughter’s joke. Really laughed. It had been so long, she almost didn’t recognize the feeling.
By week six, she was waking up without that crushing weight on her chest. The constant mental static had quieted. She wasn’t cured—she still has hard days—but for the first time in over a decade, she has more good days than bad ones.
“I wish I’d known about this years ago,” Sarah says now. “But I’m grateful I know about it now. I got my life back.”
