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.
