Summary

This study is testing a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for depression in people over 60 who have Alzheimer's disease or mild memory loss. Participants who haven't been helped by antidepressant medications will receive daily magnetic stimulation sessions for four weeks. Researchers want to see if this treatment safely reduces depression symptoms and might also help with thinking skills.
