Rtms depression and brain neurons

2026-03-05 13:13:36
Does rtms treatment for depression cause any neuronal damage or harm to the brain even at a microscopic level? What if someone has mild issues and took this rtms treatment for 30 sessions without a real need. Does this cause permanent functional changes in the brain? Or harm anything? Please guide.
