Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TMS has shown to have fewer and milder side effects, such as headaches and scalp discomfort, compared to ECT which may cause confusion, memory loss, and significant physical side effects. The relapse rates for both treatments are not significantly different from each other. TMS is also considered less invasive as it does not require any anesthesia or hospitalization, while ECT is administered with anesthesia and in a hospital setting.
