Summary

This study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation (TBS) for people whose depression hasn't improved with medication. About 120 adults and teens with treatment-resistant depression will receive either real or fake TBS sessions. The goal is to see if TBS can safely reduce depressive symptoms and help predict who will respond best.
