Andrew's Breakthrough in Treating Depression That Didn't Respond to Medication
By Caroline Wing August 15, 2025
At just 20 years old, Chloe found herself struggling with depression—a challenge that made everyday life feel overwhelming and joy hard to find. Working as a Behavioral Health Technician at Greenbrook Mental Wellness Centers, she had witnessed firsthand how NeuroStar® TMS therapy helped patients improve. It was that experience that ultimately led her to seek treatment for herself. Chloe's decision marked a turning point. She responded remarkably well to NeuroStar® TMS, echoing the very outcomes she used to celebrate in others. What followed was a transformation not only in her mental health but in her overall experience of young adulthood. The Care Team at Greenbrook played an essential role in her recovery. Chloe described the Care Team as “absolutely amazing,” noting their kindness and commitment to checking in regularly. Their support made the treatment process feel less clinical and more personal—a space of trust and comfort she looked forward to each day. As treatment progressed, the changes in Chloe’s life began to blossom. She found herself embracing experiences she once would’ve dismissed. One particular moment that stands out is a pottery class she took with a friend—except this wasn’t just any pottery class. It included cuddling baby goats and lambs while painting.
