What Should I Ask During a Depression Treatment Consultation?
A consultation is a two-way conversation. Coming prepared with questions helps you get the information you need to make an informed decision.
Want to know if SAINT® is right for you?
Tell us about your treatment history and symptoms. A consultation is an evaluation, not a commitment — and it starts with your story.
Questions About the Treatments
Ask which treatments may be appropriate for your situation and why. Ask how each works, what the evidence supports, and what the differences are between options.
Questions About Eligibility
Ask what determines whether you're a candidate. Ask about your specific history — prior medications, prior TMS, current conditions — and how each factor is considered.
Curious whether you'd qualify?
If you've tried medication and you're still not yourself, you may be a candidate for SAINT®. Our team will give you a straight answer.
Questions About the Experience
Ask what treatment feels like, how long sessions take, what side effects are possible, and what the daily commitment looks like for each option.
Questions About Cost and Insurance
Ask whether your insurance may cover treatment, what prior authorization involves, and what your out-of-pocket cost may be. Ask about self-pay options if relevant.
Questions About What Comes Next
Ask what happens after the consultation, what the timeline looks like, and what you need to prepare. Ask what happens after treatment ends, including maintenance and follow-up.
