Active rTMS (Bilateral DLPFC)
TMS Stimulation Parameters for the active DLPFC rTMS intervention group will be: 10 Hz, 4-second train duration and 11-second inter-train interval. During each session, 2,000 pulses will be applied for each hemisphere (for a total of 4,000 pulses per session). Participants will receive 20 sessions (1 or 2 sessions per day, M-F).
Active rTMS (Bilateral LPC)
TMS Stimulation Parameters for the active LPC rTMS intervention group will be: 10 Hz, 4-second train duration and 11-second inter-train interval. During each session, 2,000 pulses will be applied for each hemisphere (for a total of 4,000 pulses per session). Participants will receive 20 sessions (1 or 2 sessions per day, M-F).
Placebo rTMS (Inactive)
For the Placebo rTMS (Inactive) group, the participant will wear scalp electrodes through which a low voltage, low electric current (2-20mA at no more than 100V) is passed to mimic the sensation of receiving actual rTMS. Participants will receive 20 sessions (1 or 2 sessions per day, M-F).
