This trial investigates how intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—helps people with depression. You would receive standard treatment over four weeks while researchers use MRI brain scans to understand how the treatment works and predict who will benefit most.
Currently, doctors don't have reliable ways to predict which patients will respond well to brain stimulation therapy or identify warning signs of relapse. This study aims to find brain-based markers that could help personalize treatment and improve outcomes for people with depression.

You would receive 20 brain stimulation sessions over four weeks (five sessions per week) as part of your regular depression treatment. Before treatment starts and after two and four weeks, you would complete questionnaires about your mood and undergo MRI brain scans. The study follows your progress naturally as you receive the treatment your doctor has already recommended.
