Study Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of 1-Hz rTMS applied to the right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) in patients with Panic Disorder (PD) and comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not fully responded to conventional therapies. The investigators hypothesize that: 1. compared to sham (placebo), active rTMS will improve symptoms of PD and MDD as assessed with the Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and Clinical Global Impression (CGI); 2. active (but not sham) rTMS will normalize levels of motor cortex excitability relative to pre-treatment baseline.

Primary Outcome

The Panic Disorder Severity Scale is a questionnaire developed for measuring the severity of panic disorder symptoms. The PDSS consists of seven items, each rated on a 5-point scale, which ranges from 0 to 4. The items assess panic frequency, resulting distress, panic-focused anticipatory anxiety, phobic avoidance of situations and of physical sensations, impairment in occupational and social functioning. The overall assessment is made by a total score, which is calculated by summing the scores
