Dear Shaik,
rTMS is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. It is one of the modes of treatment - but not the only mode. If drugs do not work or if you can not tolerate drugs and if you are suicidal, it will be advised. You can take it at conscious level unlike ECT that is done under anaesthesia. It needs a number of sessions. Please discuss with you r doctor about it. You can assess the improvement yourself. But you need to continue the medicines also along with rTMS.

ECT is the last option unless it is resistant to oral medication. It depends on the type of hospital you get the ECT done. The price ranges from 3000- 5000 for one session and usually a max of 6 sessions are needed and may be fewer if response is good.

Make up your mind so that the thought of stopping medicines does not arise, and learn about social skills training and life style modification. All the best.

If you are getting treated for 1 year and not feeling improved, it is too long, get a 2nd opinion from another psychiatrist. All the best.
