Re: TMS for depressionn/BPD
Hi @Unknownself2 , I have not tried TMS for BPD. From what I gather, BPD is heavily reliant on long term talking therapies.
Im not sure for depression though.
All the best with your search.

rTMS is generally targeted towards depression. It is an approved treatment for depression through the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists.
In your title you mentioned Depression/BPD - psychotherapy is a more effective treatment for BPD. However, as you've mentioned depression. There is a chance that rTMS could improve depression, which might even have an impact on BPD symptoms.
Black Dog Institute has more information on rTMS on their website.

You could also maybe get in touch with them to see if they can give you more expert advice on any improvements rTMS might make.
