Depression is more than just feeling sad; it is a serious disease. Depression can interfere with normal life and a person’s sense of self-worth. It can end in suicide. Some people are helped with traditional treatments, such as medicine or talking with mental health experts. Yet these treatments are not 100 percent effective. Luckily, there are other methods people can try. One such treatment involves bursts of electromagnetic energy. It sends magnetic pulses directly to the brain. Sonya Kibbee is from Columbia, Missouri. She works as a physical therapist. Kibbee says she is normally active, but because of severe depression last year, she had trouble making simple decisions. “Just dumb little decisions that we make that we don’t even think about, I have to think about. And then it just gets me more stressed out because every little decision is hard.” People suffering from depression often seem to lack energy or interest in the things around them. Depression affects how much a person eats and can interfere with sleep. Even with medication and talking with mental health professionals, Kibbee said, she thought about suicide. Doctors ordered hospital stays for her several times. Then she heard about TMS, short for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
