In a recent article in “”The Mighty””, entitled, “”30 Things People Don’t Realize You’re Doing Because of Your Depression””, staff writer Sarah Schuster points out that…
“”Depression expresses itself in many different ways, some more obvious than others. While some people have a hard time getting out of bed, others might get to work just fine ??it?? different for everyone.””
Christopher Blackburn, Co-Founder and Patient Advocate at TMS Solutions, said, “”everyday we speak with patients suffering from different symptoms associated with their depression. It’s important to understand that we are all different and all require specific needs during treatment and post treatment. At TMS Solutions, we incorporate a post treatment therapy for patients who now have ‘clarity,’ ‘energy,’ ‘drive and determination’ – all things that in some cases have been absent for decades. This system of coping and recognizing indicators is, I believe, imperative for patients post TMS. TMS is an amazing technology that literally changes lives. It’s vital that we continue to educate the public and health care industry about the efficacy that is a result of TMS therapy.“”
In her article Schuster asked her mental health community to “”share one thing people don?? realize they??e doing because they have depression””. In the following list we’ve flipped and paraphrased those heartfelt comments into “”I messages”” which the respondents put into quotes of , but reflect what many feel, but may have difficulty articulating–much less sharing aloud.
If you find yourself identifying with any of these statements, please know there is help from many sources available. You are not alone. Remission from depression is possible.
