> But you pivot to TMS and you see 60-80 percent improvement rates. Esketamine is close too.

I have received both rTMS and esketamine and the providers themselves told me they saw roughly a 30-40% response rate (not remission, that's even lower!). Upon researching the topic myself, I found that the meta analysis usually agreed with this 30% figure, but recent research papers mark eskatamine even lower. Both treatments can be miraculous for a few select people and it makes a good headline, but it's a total failure for the majority of people.

I agree with you that those treatments should be easier to access, though.

This is the only factually true statement in your entire comment.
