Abstract
a patient with depression resisitant to drug - treatment were treated with 10 daily sessions of20Hz-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at 80% motor threshold over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. He responded to rTMS and did not relapse after five months following rTMS.. This study suggested that rTMS may be effective for depression resistant to drug-treatment.
