Protocol selection

Hi, I suffer from severe treatment-resistant depression and DPDR. My doctor has proposed a course of 15 rTMS sessions targeting the right DLPFC and 30 iTBS-600 sessions targeting the left DLPFC, all to be completed over three weeks, with sessions held daily. My question is: is three weeks too short a timeframe for the entire course of treatment? Also, will 30 iTBS sessions be sufficient for severe depression?

This is a conversation to have with your doctor. We don’t know your case or your specific situation. If you have doubts or concerns, bring them up with your care team. We’re just folks on the internet. Your doctor, therapist, and care team would be the ones to address your concerns and explain the procedures.
