TMS can be very harmful to you

[edit]

I think a greater emphasis on the risks with TMS should be mentioned in the article, I already edited the page a bit to add more of the adverse effects (with a source of course) but I think it should definitely be included in the lead, I found myself in a rabbit hole starting with this essay written by a man that was gravely injured by TMS therapy after he was blindly led into its treatments the same way most are, "it's a safe depression cure that couldn't go wrong." He even criticizes the way the therapy is advertised with this essay as well. It seems like TMS manufacturers try their best to bury these negative experiences. There is also a Facebook group full of people with the same experiences. In a morality standpoint, I dont think these people who had experiences like this should go unheard. These side effects do not seem to be as rare as the advocators of TMS want to make it seem Lil Sad Lil Happy (talk) 10:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you find some WP:MEDRS sources to back up your claim? IntentionallyDense (Contribs) 21:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Poor citation practices

[edit]

I am not a Wikipedia editor and therefore don’t know next steps here, but wanted to note for the record that sections of this article appear deceptively sourced. The sentence beginning “other potential issues” cites a medical study that does not pertain to what the editor claims it does, followed by a much lower-quality source that does. The section called “limitations” repeatedly cites sources that do not seem to say what the editor says they do. 174.21.199.101 (talk) 04:47, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
