My name is Victor Solano and I have been an individual with many responsibilities in regards to the companies I have worked for in which I have had high pressure executive positions.

Towards the end of the first week of treatment I began to experiences changes, quite subtle and spontaneous. I felt more lively, clearer in my mind, less "gloomy" in general. Significantly, I felt like walking around the city center in San Jose, content with very simple things, looking at the people, examining with pleasure the public art and so on.

After years of struggle with severe depression and many types of ineffective medication, I no longer knew what to do or where to turn. In my despair, I even considered electroshock--which I knew to be effective for most people but also harsh and apt to produce memory loss. Quite providentially, I discovered the existence of TMS and didn't have to undergo electroshock. Within a week of my discovery, I did all the research on the internet and, spurred by new hope, left for Costa Rica.

I want to share the following with you. I am a 47 year-old woman, married, with three adult daughters, and am a retired nurse.

For me transcranial magnetic stimulation was nothing short of a miracle since I had already lost hope of recovering from depression, I had already tried all the pills available through the national health care system and also some my parents purchased for me, but even though I started each treatment with a lot of faith, this faith disappeared upon seeing that everything remained the same.
