rTMS stands for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. A magnetic coil, attached to a special machine, is placed over a part of the skull and trains of simulations are administered. It is a treatment suggested for severe depressive disorders. Most experts do not think it is as effective as drug treatments or electro-convulsive-therapy, but some patients prefer it because of drug side effects or fear of ECT.

Some doctors believe this treatment has great potential, while others feel there has been enough study to make a determination about whether it gets long-term results.
