Learn From Others.

I struggled with depression and anxiety for years before I decided to get treatment. By the time I discovered Safe , I was having daily anxiety attacks. I was irritated and not sleeping, and my mental health was starting to affect my marriage. I was skeptical of TMS, but after my first session, I felt better, so I decided to commit to my recovery. Now, my anxiety attacks are almost 90% gone, and I don’t have any negative thoughts anymore. I wish more people knew about SAFE because it really does work. I also think all the SAFE community contributed to my recovery.
