I'm not one to nitpick or criticize the fictionalization of real-life situations for entertainment purposes, but as a patient of transcranial magnetic stimulation, I need to speak up. TMS is a treatment for depression and migraines. There is no soundproof booth, no God Helmet, no goggles, and no visions of Heaven and Hell. It's painless and non-invasive, both physically and mentally, and it should not be portrayed as nothing more than a spiritual experiment.
However, in an effort to make the episode scary, the showrunners gave TMS qualities that may not only deter potential patients but outright terrify them. Personally, had I seen this before my doctor recommended TMS, I would have run screaming.
Additionally, Kristen's spiral and the continuing war between Andy and Sheryl (and the creepy Eddie shrine) only add to the confusion and frustration of the episode.
