About two years ago, I experienced a manic episode and was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. I was put on bipolar medication, which only made things worse, eventually leading to suicidal thoughts. That’s when I met Dr. Hoaglin, and everything changed. After carefully evaluating my situation, he correctly diagnosed my episode as substance-induced (triggered by weed) and linked it to my suppressed grief over losing my parents. As soon as he took me off bipolar meds, my suicidal thoughts disappeared. He then began treating my depression with the right medication, and I started feeling more functional and in control of my life. However, I struggled with taking medication regularly, and to be honest, I didn’t want to rely on meds long-term. Unlike other doctors who might have just prescribed more medications, Dr. Hoaglin suggested an alternative—Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). The idea of daily treatments for two months sounded intimidating at first, but each session was painless, lasted only 15–20 minutes, and he even put on my favorite show to make it more enjoyable. During the TMS treatment, I didn’t notice any immediate changes, but a few months later, something incredible happened I woke up one day, and it was as if a switch had flipped. My anxiety, depression, and procrastination were completely gone! I felt like myself again—smiling more, being more active, and engaging better in my social relationships. One of the most surprising effects of the treatment was overcoming my long-standing struggle with smoking. For six years, I had difficulty quitting both tobacco and weed. After TMS, not only did I quit effortlessly, but I also can’t even stand being around smoke anymore! If you’re struggling with depression, I highly recommend Dr. Hoaglin and TMS. My only advice—based on personal experience—is to be patient. You might not feel a change right away but trust the process. It will happen! Thank you, Dr. Hoaglin, for giving me my life back! 🙌
