Brandywine Valley TMS 2300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilmington, DE 19806

"I have been on so many medications for Major Depressive Disorder for many years, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Serzone etc, None really worked for me and the side effects were just too much. I recently entered a really deep depression and was looking for alternatives to medication. I read about TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and was excited to learn more about it. I found Dr. Castro and Brandywine TMS and spoke to him about the treatment. He explained everything in detail and listened to my history with patience and answered all my questions. I decided to try it. WOW. I felt hopeful after the first couple of sessions. And after the first week I knew that this was working and saw a light at the end of the tunnel. I liked that I got to see and talk to Dr. Castro at almost all of the sessions (most places you only see the tech) the office staff were friendly and so very helpful. I made huge strides with each week that went by. I have 3 treatments left and I feel like a different person. If you're looking for something other than meds to try this is it. And I wouldn't do it anywhere else but with Dr. Castro and Brandywine Valley TMS!"

"Dr. Castro has treated me for anxiety and depression for several years using the anti-depression drugs. He recently added TMS to his catalog of services. During a recent flair-up of depression, Dr. Castro suggested trying TMS. It offered the possibility of curing the depression and replacing the drugs. Dr. Castro thoroughly explained that TMS doesn't work for everyone but if it does, it's a game changer. Guess what?..it didn't work for me. Dr. Castro did cure my depression by changing one of my other medications. Regardless of my experience with TMS, I recommend Dr. Castro to anyone who needs psychiatric help. Dr. Castro is very patient with a calming bedside manner."

"TMS is a life saver. And no, it's not just 1920s electric shock therapy. I cannot tell you how many times I went in feeling at one of my lowest lows and left feeling capable and able to face the challenges in my life and the struggles my mental health can be. Almost every session felt like measurable progress with longer and longer good days following each one. TMS has enhanced the effectiveness of my antidepressants and helped relieve my anxiety. Dr. Castro is great. He's an excellent psychiatrist. He's always professional, but he's also empathetic and provides a very calming influence for me. He's absolutely the type of person you need partnering with you on med management."

"I had been looking at TMS treatment in the Wilmington DE area for a long time and decided to give it a try. Dr Castro is very knowable about TMS therapy and was very helpful. I was skeptical at first but after the first week I noticed a difference. Decisions were easier to make and my resilience to depression was better. I just seemed to bounce back faster and not stay in a depressed state as long. The treatment is 5 days a week for around 30 minutes a day. It’s a commitment for sure but the consistency also helps your mental well being. I’m not saying TMS will affect others the same way as it did me. The change I experienced was subtle but it was noticeable. I would recommend giving it a try if you have persistent depression problems that medication doesn’t seem to help."

"I was feeling defeated when I first met Dr. Castro. I spent the previous 10 plus years with my previous doctor starting and stopping and changing countless medications to treat my symptoms. I was taking up to nine medications at one time with little to non-lasting relief. I tried Ketamine therapy with no success. I was told that ECT was my only option because my symptoms were treatment resistant. There had to be another option… When I started seeing Dr. Castro, he began eliminating medications that he felt were not helping. He tweaked some while taking me off of others. He created the winning “cocktail” of medications that broke me out of the grips of depression. I went from barely holding on to my job to going back to school, writing a novel and making a career change into my new profession. Dr. Castro’s patient, kind and professional approach has helped me get to a point in my life that I feared I could never have."
