5. A friend of mine just agreed to do the treatment

He has long term anxiety and depression exacerbated now with Parkinson's.

Basically, agoraphobia and depression. Nothing has worked. Prior to pandemic he was able to go outside, drive, etc.
Now he won't leave the house. Multiple meds have been tried. He got a second opinion from a new psychiatrist
who recommended TMS therapy. He's agreed to it. First, session is in 3 weeks. The only issue is getting him out of
the house to do it.

Anyone with any personal info about this would be helpful.

The doc said he will treat both sides of the brain.

Any thoughts?
