I'd say yes to anxiety, rumination and fatigue. I don't mean that it would improve everything completely, but it should help - if you are in the right 60%! You should know if you are starting to feel better after a week or so. Because your left hemisphere is stimulated, you tend to feel more alert and energized, and less in the grip of negative thoughts. And because cortisol is decreased, you tend to feel calmer
They felly expect that you will continue on some medication, and they are right in saying that you will need to return for maintenance treatments. Everyone is different in how often they need these- for me it was about four every four months; for some people, it's as often as once a week.
