Life After NeuroStar®: Staying Mentally Well

Going through depression can feel like walking through a fog—every step feels heavy, unclear, and exhausting. For many, TMS therapy for depression has helped lift that fog, bringing a renewed sense of clarity, energy, and hope. But what happens after the treatment ends? What does life look like once the sessions are over?

NeuroStar® is a powerful tool in treating depression, but like any treatment, it’s not a one-and-done solution. Think of it as the foundation for your mental health treatment. Now that you’ve completed the therapy, the next step is building on that foundation and learning how to maintain your progress.

So, what comes next?

First, it’s important to recognize that feeling better doesn’t mean forgetting about your mental health. Depression isn’t always predictable, and maintenance is key. That doesn’t mean you’ll need more sessions right away, but staying proactive helps you stay ahead.

Here are some simple ways to support your life after TMS:

• Stick to a routine.
  Your brain thrives on structure. Keeping a consistent sleep schedule, eating well, and staying physically active can do wonders for your mood and overall well-being.
  
• Stay connected.
  Don’t isolate yourself. Whether it’s close friends, family, or support groups, having people you trust can make a huge difference. Talking to someone who gets it can be incredibly validating.
  
• Keep in touch with your provider.
  Regular check-ins with your TMS provider or mental health professional can help you track your progress and spot any early signs of returning symptoms. Some patients may still wonder about NeuroStar side effects after their sessions end, so it’s always a good idea to bring up any lingering questions or concerns with your care team.
  
• Embrace the little wins.
  Every day won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. Mental health is a journey, not a straight line. Celebrate the small improvements, whether it’s getting out of bed with more ease, finding enjoyment in a hobby again, or simply feeling more like yourself.
