TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. Unlike medication, TMS works directly on specific brain circuits and does not require anesthesia or sedation.

The answer, therefore, is that all antidepressants are equally effective, at least until you try them.
