Study Aim Description

The youth repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) project is recruiting adolescent and young adults with depression and/or anxiety. The aim is to provide more access the brain stimulation treatments for depression in this population. We would also like to gain a better understanding of the changes that are occurring in the young brain following rTMS and would therefore also ask you to sit for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan.

You will require a GP or Psychiatric referral to get rTMS at the Perron Institute and/or one of our partner TMS service provider sites (Modalis and/or Pioneer Health Albany).

What You Will Do

  • Consent to receive rTMS treatment for depression at no cost to you
  • Attend 2x MRI brain scans (one before rTMS and one after)

Study Eligibility

  • 15-25 years of age
  • Have a diagnosis of depression and/or anxiety
  • Have been prescribed medication by your GP or psychiatrists for treatment of depression and/or anxiety
  • Have not responded to or achieve satisfactory improvement in symptoms of depression and/or anxiety
  • Able to give informed consent to attend one of the focus group session
