Core Tip Depression in the elderly (geriatric depression) is an emerging global concern. A major challenge in treating geriatric depression is the lack of robust efficacy for many treatments that are of significant benefit to depressed working age adults. An emerging intervention that shows promise in refractory depression is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). To date, most of the evidence for TMS in depression pertains to working age adults. We review the evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of rTMS in geriatric depression. In addition, we also review the literature on possible moderators of differential efficacy of rTMS in geriatric depression.
