Summary

This study tests a new, faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS for people with depression or OCD. Instead of the usual weeks of daily sessions, participants get 10 hours of TMS each day for just 5 days. The goal is to see if this quick approach can rapidly improve symptoms and to use brain scans to figure out who benefits most. The study involves 500 adults who have not gotten enough relief from standard treatments.
