Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation offers hope for Veteran Living with Depression

For Army Veteran Shirley Benoit, the battle with depression lasted more than decade.

Medications didn’t work and the side effects often made things worse. When she began Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy at VA, she finally found relief.

Benoit served a combined 17 years with the Army National Guard nad on active duty, holding roles in combat medicien, supply, engineering, recruiting and administrative support. She first began TMS treatment at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center in Ohio in 2010, when the therapy was just being introduced as an alternative option for Veterans who had not responded well to medication or counseling.
