I'm not saying it's not a huge deal. I wouldn't consider your relative necessarily treatment resistant. I'm talking about those of us who have been left behind. In my case, that's 15+ plus of over 30 medication trials (following the STAR-D algorithm as well), failed bilateral ECT, TMS, ketamine IV, trigeminal nerve stimulation, and more. I'm on disability for the depression. I'm not trying to invalidate your relative's situation but there are also people who have been stuck in the system for years like me and we need NEW OPTIONS. As I said, both things can be true. TMS being made faster is good, but we can't stop there, and that's my perspective on the article with someone with my lived experience. Not everyone knows someone this treatment resistant so I'm offering my unique experience about it. Your relative's experience and anyone who has tried a few meds or even hasn't and wants to try TMS is valid and I'm happy this exists. What I'm saying is that for the smaller population like me who has already been left behind this isn't going to help that much.
