My name is Victor Solano and I have been an individual with many responsibilities in regards to the companies I have worked for in which I have had high pressure executive positions.
In the last 6 years I have traveled frequently around Central America and other countries due to my job. I also had to attend conferences at the corporate headquarters and had a lot of family pressure since I have young children.
Towards the end of the first week of treatment I began to experiences changes, quite subtle and spontaneous. I felt more lively, clearer in my mind, less "gloomy" in general. Significantly, I felt like walking around the city center in San Jose, content with very simple things, looking at the people, examining with pleasure the public art and so on. I sat on a little wall near the big post office, where the local people gather. I was amused to notice something about myself which I did not see before.
After years of struggle with severe depression and many types of ineffective medication, I no longer knew what to do or where to turn. In my despair, I even considered electroshock--which I knew to be effective for most people but also harsh and apt to produce memory loss. Quite providentially, I discovered the existence of TMS and didn't have to undergo electroshock. Within a week of my discovery, I did all the research on the internet and, spurred by new hope, left for Costa Rica.
I want to share the following with you. I am a 47 year-old woman, married, with three adult daughters, and am a retired nurse. From a very early time in my adolescence I began to suffer from depression, and it wasn’t until I turned thirty that I was diagnosed by my psychiatrist as having “Major Depression” in my first hospitalization. I started to be treated with medications as well as psychotherapy.
For me transcranial magnetic stimulation was nothing short of a miracle since I had already lost hope of recovering from depression, I had already tried all the pills available through the national health care system and also some my parents purchased for me, but even though I started each treatment with a lot of faith, this faith disappeared upon seeing that everything remained the same.
After an event like the one I went through, one may feel that life has come to an end and that hence everything would change. I had to adapt to this sudden change and new routines and I felt my vitality coming down. Adjusting to a different life would require a lot of effort through therapy but I found that each day there was a little progress. Now, with the TMS treatment, I would say I have managed to recover 100% in what is hope and the joy of living.
