thanx dear colleague.
the doctor asked me what i would do if i got well. i didn't hesitate to repond; i said teach again of course. plus, maybe fall in love again. ;)
more and more insurances are covering tms/dtms she also told me. she said the key is that the doc/office needs to really document past failures and fight for you to get covered. again, she says it is becoming easier to get coverage. also, both tms and deep tms use the same psych pricing codes with insurance. so, if one is covered so will the other.
she also described a scenario like yours; where stubborn depressions usually need a 6 month 'booster' maintenance. and no, not a full treatment (20 to 30), but a week or so. so, people do not have to start from zero again.
i told her i want off drugs too cuz i hate them. lol she said, ok let's shoot for that...
