Can you share the most terrifying transcranial magnetic stimulation horror stories?

In some horror - like scenarios, improper calibration of the transcranial magnetic stimulation device led to mis - targeting. Instead of stimulating the intended area of the brain, it affected other regions. This resulted in strange symptoms like sudden mood swings, from calm to extreme agitation, or even visual disturbances. The patient's normal mental state was disrupted, and they felt like they were losing control over their own minds and bodies due to this mis - targeted stimulation.

One success story is about a patient with depression. After a series of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatments, their mood significantly improved. They went from being constantly sad and having low energy to being more active and having a more positive outlook. TMS helped to regulate the neural activity in the brain regions associated with mood, effectively alleviating the symptoms of depression.

One inspiring story is of a stroke survivor. TMS was used to help with their motor function recovery. It stimulated the parts of the brain responsible for movement. After a course of treatment, they regained some movement in their previously paralyzed limb. This not only improved their physical ability but also boosted their confidence and motivation to continue rehabilitation.
