About this trial
Thirty depressed patients will be recruited to select individualized transcranial magnetic stimulation targets based on individual orbital frontal cortex and habenula functional activity connectivity for 10 or 20 treatments to assess the efficacy and safety of this intervention

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores from baseline to treatment day 10
The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a widely used clinical assessment tool designed to measure the severity of depressive symptoms.The MADRS consists of 10 items, each of which addresses a different aspect of depression, such as low mood, loss of interest, sleep disorders, appetite, concentration, fatigue, inability to feel pleasure, pessimistic thinking, and suicidal ideation. Each item is scored according to the severity of symptoms, ranging from 0 to 6, with a total score ranging from 0-60, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms. Change = (treatment day 10 Score -Baseline Score).
Secondary outcomes
Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores from baseline to 28 days after the end of treatment

Change in Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores from baseline to treatment day 10
Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)is suitable for assessing the severity of anxiety symptoms. It has 14 items and adopts a 5-level scoring method of 0-4 points.Possible scores range from 0 to 56 and the higher the score, the worse the symptom. Change = (treatment day 10 Score -Baseline Score).

Change in Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD-17)scores from baseline to treatment day 10
Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD-17) is a commonly used clinical evaluation standard for the severity of depressive symptoms. There are 17 items in total, which can be scored before and after treatment to evaluate the severity of the disease and the treatment effect.Possible scores range from 0 to 52 and the higher the score, the worse the symptom. Change = (treatment day 10 Score -Baseline Score).
