Anyone tried transcranial magnetic stimulation? Was it helpful?

Never heard of it
I did. In a double blind trial. It was focused on apathy and negative symptoms in general. Had 10 sessions in 2 weeks. Didn’t help, though this was just a 2 week trial.
There are TMS trials (for positive, negative or cognitive symptoms) going on everywhere on the world. It might be proven effective after all for certain symptoms… We’ll have to wait and see.
TMS for depression is more advanced and somewhat proven to be effective (and most likely will be covered by insurance here in Europe within a couple of years), this could also be the case for schizophrenia symptoms.
I don’t know…I had 3 months of TMS but I had no good results. It gave me a lot of migranes because it’s stimulating my head- but I do feel that it’s a little (but not too much) helpful for depression.
Sending you warm thoughts.
