Matthew Johns interview

Trans Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate a small area of the brain. Currently the treatment is only available in New South Wales through the private health system, and advocates are working to get TMS available to public patients.

My guest, "Grant", lost his girlfriend, "Jordan", to suicide. Jordan had been receiving TMS treatment in Victoria, with good results, but couldn't find access to treatment through the public system when she and Grant moved to New South Wales. After her depression deteriorated, Jordan took her own life. Now, Grant is campaigning to use Jordan's life insurance money to buy a TMS machine that would be used in the public health system.
