Summary
This study looks at an accelerated version of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain treatment, to see how many sessions work best for reducing depression and anxiety symptoms. About 70 adults with major depression will receive different doses of the treatment, and researchers will track changes in mood and brain activity. The goal is to find the most effective dose and understand why some people respond better than others.
