Summary

This study tests a fast-acting, non-invasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for teens and young adults aged 15-25 with depression and suicidal thoughts. Over 5 days, participants receive brain stimulation guided by MRI, with no surgery or medication involved. Researchers want to see if this approach is practical, reduces symptoms, and lowers the need for hospital visits.
