Summary
This study tests whether a quick, 5-day course of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can safely reduce depression in adults aged 60-85 who haven't gotten better with medication. Participants will receive either real or placebo stimulation to see if the treatment is well-tolerated and effective. The goal is to find a non-drug option for older adults with hard-to-treat depression.
