Sorry, this was translated from Japanese to English by Google.
It is about the medical problem of mental illness in Japan.

Depression patients are said to be 1,721,000. (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare patient survey)
Year by year, both in society and in company schools, stress in human relationships is increasing, and moral issues are becoming more radical, bullying, power harassment,
There is no greeting in the neighborhood, and no word of excuse when shopping or riding the bus.

Depression is currently treated with medication and counseling as directed by a doctor. This time, I would like to take up TMS treatment (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy).

It is a principle that uses magnetic force for Faraday's law (law of electromagnetic induction).

It is a treatment method that controls the function of the brain normally by repeatedly applying electrical stimulation to the brain using magnetism.
Relatively fewer side effects than similar conventional electroconvulsive therapies,
Outpatient treatment is also provided.

The treatment has been very helpful to me. In the conventional psychiatric and psychosomatic medical treatment, the main treatment is medication, but when there is no real feeling that it is working, and the symptoms suddenly worsen, all you have to do is sleep.
In my personal opinion, after the treatment, I can feel that my brain has recovered, my sense of taste has become sharper, and I am looking forward to eating.

However, the treatment is not covered by insurance, and one treatment costs 3,000 to 8,000 yen, and the adjustment fee is 20,000 yen.

(It is said that inpatient treatment is applied, but it seems that it is about hospitalization for treatment at a large hospital.

If it is simply 30% burden, it will be 2400 yen at 8000 * 0.3.
If you pay 10% as independence support medical care, it is 8000 yen at 8000 * 0.1

Increase non-drug options and broaden treatment possibilities.

All over the country, I think there are many people who go to work after undergoing a treatment between jobs.

There are individual differences in symptoms, and medical costs will soar.

Please consider it.
