Summary

This study looks at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help prevent depression from coming back. It involves 60 adults who already improved with iTBS. They will receive either standard weekly sessions or a single day of accelerated sessions, and researchers will track how many have a relapse.
