The liabilities of TMS are that it's expensive, and, for most everyone, a temporary help that will need to be repeated.
The pluses can be quite strong. It apparently acts in several ways to help the brain return more closely to its pre-depression state, and, other than some pain during the treatments, there are no unwanted side-effects. Most of the major medical centers now offer it.
I think it is well worth a try for anyone who has not responded well to medication.
