What happens when 30 years of treatment-resistant depression meets a breakthrough in brain stimulation therapy? On this episode, Danny's dad, Francisco Costa, sits down with us to share his deeply personal journey with TMS, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, after struggling with depression and relying on antidepressants since 1995. Francisco opens up about what it felt like to finally step off his medication, reconnect with a version of himself that had been asleep for decades, and adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle, all without the numbing side effects of antidepressants. A raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about TMS therapy, mental health in immigrant families, caretaker burnout, and why Francisco believes TMS should be the first line of treatment, not the last resort.
