Veteran patients can be referred to receive a Neuromodulation Clinic consult at the Providence VA Medical Center (PVAMC). Following this consultation, patients who are to begin rTMS therapy for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) will be recruited to participate in this study. About 1 week prior to the scheduled beginning of rTMS therapy, research participants who provide informed consent will complete baseline neuropsychological measures. Within a few days of completing these measures, and before beginning rTMS therapy, participants will receive an MRI scan, including structural and functional imaging. Participants will have a similar set of MRI scans up to three times during the course of rTMS therapy, and complete neuropsychological measures at these scanning sessions. A final MRI scan will be conducted within a week of completing the rTMS therapy course, and neuropsychological measures will be completed at this session.
