Has anyone used transcranial magnetic stimulationfor medication resistant depression? [View all]

From google...
TMS is a non-invasive, outpatient procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, primarily to treat depression in patients who have not responded to medication. The treatment involves a magnetic coil placed on the head, delivering pulses that create electrical currents to improve mood-regulating areas of the brain. Side effects are typically mild and include headaches or scalp discomfort, and there is a small risk of seizures in patients with epilepsy.
