Self-Report. 20 Y/O Asperger's Male - Dictated

My problem was an extreme tendency for OCD behaviors and I could not get anything done because my rigidity ruled my life. The TMS really helped me break away from those tendencies and see things more open minded and live my life how I wanted to and not how my disorder made me. I recognize now that it is a disorder. I thought that I could not change it before- that it was just who I was and it was normal, as everyone is different. I didn't see it as something I could do anything about because I went through every medication I could imagine and really saw no solution. TMS took me off those meds and almost 'magically' completely absolved me of all restriction on my behaviors and how I lived my life. Now I feel more open and free to do more of what I want to do, especially now that I'm working and I don't let the little things bother me anymore. There are times when little things do get to me, but I understand that sometimes when appropriate, things do get to you. Now I am more at ease with friends. They can joke more with me and I used to be more serious about everything and I would get offended very easily, but now I have a sense of humor and it allows them to speak with me and joke. For example if they make a joke about my car, I would have gotten angry before, but now I look at it and say, hey at least I have a car.

I feel a lot more human now- more like a person should feel, where they have distinct emotions exuding at certain times, when appropriate. Before I had no emotions but anger and sadness, sometimes I would feel content, but now I have a lot more variety at my disposal. It opened so many doors to do this treatment.

My interactions are much more stable with family now. Because of my stability, I got a job. I pick up on social things much more, now I understand if my friends are interested in what I am talking about or if they are not. If someone is angry or sad it registers now, whereas before I didn't have a clue. This is one of the things that broke the barrier for me.

I slept excessively before TMS, 12-14 hours a day with naps. Now my unnecessary sleep has been reduced and I am sleeping a more stable amount of 8-10 hours. I am going back to school next semester and feel that my new job will help me with responsibility issues, since I work 8-9 hour shifts even when I do not want to. I am also working on recording an album with my band and have been practicing a lot over the summer with them. I didn't like to talk that much before treatment, but now I can't get enough of it. I overlook the little things now, whereas I used to question myself: life is different and better now after TMS treatment.

Testimonials for TMS Treatment of Addiction

Self-Report. 50 Y/O Polysubstance Addiction, Female - Dictated

I am a recovering drug addict. When I came to see Brain Treatment Center, I thought my life was already over: I could not stay sober, I relapsed constantly, and I was so depressed that I thought of killing myself every day. I slept until 6 every afternoon and didn't have a life. If people came and visited, I could not remember them the next day and I had total memory loss- I forgot things. My brain was completely distraught. When I came to my first appointment, the staff at the Brain Treatment Center staff identified the problems with my brain. After 50 TMS sessions i have now woken up, my brain has been rescued. I can not recall when in my life i have felt as good as I do now. It is all thanks to the Brain Center and all the kind people here who really cares about people and not just financial gain. The reason I am sharing this is because I know a lot of fellow addicts are really struggling and they can not stay sober for some reason. Even though they work the program they relapse and relapse. I truly believe many have the same problem as me. When I did drugs I didn't do a little bit but a lot of drugs. I would encourage anybody who feels chronically depressed or those who can't get it together and keeps on relapsing to make that one phone call and get a quick test to just see what is going on. I can only say that for me it saved my life. Compared to all of these rehabs I have been to where it's all about the money and you don't get anything for the money, this place here has cost me nothing in comparison to what I paid before. This is what made me better, and the people here are loving and caring and truly interested in their patient's well-being.
