Summary
This study tests a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS) for people with depression that hasn't improved with at least two medications. About 247 adults aged 18-65 will be randomly assigned to receive either a personalized, computer-guided version of the treatment, a standard version, or a fake (sham) version. The goal is to see if these brain stimulation methods can safely reduce depression symptoms better than a placebo.
