Michael this is from the Mayo Clinic:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of major depression.
During an rTMS session for depression, an electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp of your head. This coil delivers magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in the region of your brain involved in mood control and depression. It's thought to activate regions of the brain that have decreased activity during depression.

My psychiatrist has suggested this for me but you have to go 5 days a week for 6 weeks and I can’t imagine leaving the house that many times.

Hugs and hope this helps
