For Lauren, depression didn’t always look like sadness. It looked like going through the motions. Getting through the day. Smiling when she needed to, even when she felt nothing at all.
“I was functioning on the outside, but inside I felt numb,” she shared. “Even the smallest things took everything I had. I didn’t feel connected to anything or anyone—including myself.”
Despite trying multiple medications and seeing different providers, the heaviness didn’t lift. Over time, Lauren began to lose hope that anything would change.
She had heard about treatments like TMS and ketamine therapy but wasn’t sure they were right for her. That changed when a close friend shared their own experience at The Remedy—and when Lauren’s own provider gently suggested it might be worth exploring.
From the moment she walked through the doors, something felt different.
“Everyone—from the front desk to the clinical team—treated me like a whole person. I wasn’t just a diagnosis. I felt seen, heard, and supported in a way I hadn’t before.”
Lauren started a personalized treatment plan that combined Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy, guided by Dr. Bentham and the interventional care team. Progress was gradual—but meaningful.
“It wasn’t a quick fix, but little by little, I started feeling again. I had more energy. I could laugh. I started making plans. I could actually see a future.”
What surprised Lauren most wasn’t just the effectiveness of the treatment—it was the compassion behind it.
“Dr. Bentham is incredibly kind and incredibly smart. I felt safe with him. I trusted his judgment. And the team always remembered who I was and what I was going through.”
Today, Lauren continues her healing journey with more clarity and hope than she’s had in years. She wants others to know that even when healing feels out of reach, it’s still possible.
“People don’t talk enough about how hard it is to keep looking for help when nothing has worked. But I’m so grateful I kept trying. The Remedy helped me find my way through.”
