“works on half the patients” is a pretty decent rate for a depression therapy. Traditional meds don’t do better AFAIK, which is why “try a bunch of different meds until you find one that works” is such frequent advice.
Yeah, in a healthcare system that actually prioritized patient health, this would be the first thing prescribed, rather than the last. As far as I’m aware, there’s no negative side effects… or any side effects, really. It’s just magnetic fields. It either works or it doesn’t.
Meanwhile the meds take weeks to build up in your system before you know if you’re getting the desired effect and come with all sorts of side effects.
