aResponse rate is the percentage of the cohort with ≥ 50% improvement in PHQ-9 score from baseline to follow-up visit or from start to end of the TMS course. Clinical improvement rate is the percentage of the cohort with a decrease of ≥ 5 points on the PHQ-9 from baseline to follow-up visit or from start to end of the TMS course. Remission rate is the percentage of the sample with a PHQ-9 score < 5 at the follow-up visit or end of the TMS course
