Summary of Research on Irritability in Depressed Adolescents
This study examined how irritability affects treatment outcomes in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Key Findings
Irritability, a common problem for many adolescents, improved significantly during TMS treatment:
- Irritability decreased for both 1 Hz and 10 Hz TMS groups.
- Irritability improvements were linked to better overall depression recovery.
