Depression | Anxiety

As a 35-year-old widowed mother of two, I found myself struggling with severe depression and crippling anxiety. Every day was a battle to get out of bed, take care of my children, and maintain any semblance of normalcy. The weight of my emotions was overwhelming, and it felt like there was no way out.

When I discovered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offered by Inland Empire TMS and Dr. Sandra Cox, I was desperate for a solution. Despite my initial doubts, I decided to give it a chance, hoping it could provide the relief I so desperately needed.

From the first session, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and straightforward the treatment was. Dr. Cox and her team were incredibly supportive, answering all my questions and making sure I felt at ease throughout the process. The sessions were quick and non-invasive, fitting easily into my busy schedule as a mom.

As the weeks progressed, I began to notice a gradual but profound change. My anxiety started to diminish, and the heavy cloud of depression began to lift. I found myself laughing with my children, engaging more in their lives, and experiencing a level of joy I hadn’t felt in years.

The true testament to my progress came when I was able to take my kids on a vacation to Mexico. This trip had seemed like an impossible dream during my darkest days, but thanks to TMS therapy, it became a reality. The smiles on my children’s faces and the memories we created on that trip were priceless.

TMS therapy with Dr. Sandra Cox and Inland Empire TMS has been nothing short of life-changing. It gave me back my life and allowed me to be the mother my children deserve. If you’re struggling with depression and anxiety, and traditional treatments haven’t worked for you, I highly recommend giving TMS a try. It made a world of difference for me, and I believe it can for you too.

Larry

Depression

At 63 years old, I had been on Wellbutrin for 30 years and struggled with sleep my entire life. Recently, I faced the unimaginable: I lost my wife to cancer after watching her bravely fight for over four years. Shortly after, my loving dog of 14 years, who was also my support dog, passed away. The weight of these losses was unbearable. I couldn’t get out of bed, and life felt utterly hopeless.

In my darkest moments, I discovered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. With the unwavering support of Kyle Hartfield and Dr. Sandra Cox, I decided to try TMS, hoping it could provide the relief I so desperately needed.

From the very beginning, Kyle and Dr. Cox made me feel comfortable and supported. The treatment was non-invasive and easy to fit into my day-to-day life. Their compassionate care and professional approach gave me the confidence to continue with the therapy.

As the weeks went by, I began to notice significant changes. The fog of depression started to lift, and I found myself with more energy and a renewed sense of purpose. Miraculously, I was able to get off Wellbutrin after 30 years. My sleep improved, and I started to feel more like myself again.

TMS therapy didn’t erase the profound losses I endured, but it gave me the strength to cope and move forward. Today, my life is better than it has been in a long time. I am able to get out of bed, engage with the world, and find joy in the little things once more.

If you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, or the weight of life’s challenges, I highly recommend TMS therapy. With the support of Kyle Hartfield and Dr. Sandra Cox, TMS has given me my life back. It has been a transformative experience, and I am incredibly grateful for the second chance at living fully again.
