TMS has been shown to be effective for the treatment of depression. We are trialing an investigational new form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study treatment-resistant depression.
If you are between the ages of 22 and 75 and have failed at least 2 anti-depressant medications, you may be eligible to participate in our study.
