Brief Summary  
This study will be a longitudinal interventional study that involves patients satisfying all the inclusion criteria.

 All patients who match the inclusion criteria will be assessed for severity of depression   according to ICD 10 criteria.

 Patients having first episode mild and moderate depressive episode will be treated according to the standard accelerated Theta Burst Stimulation Protocol

Patients will be assessed with HDRS scale before the treatment and after 5th session and at the end of final session.

All patients will receive the accelerated iTBS protocol for depression which consists of three magnetic pulses delivered 20 ms apart and repeatedly delivered every 200 ms resulting in a 5 Hz theta rhythm over the left DLPFC area. 

Intensity will be set to 120% motor threshold (MT), and a total of 3600 pulses will be delivered per day, two sessions of 2000 pulses each with 30 min interval lasting roughly 13 min. Total 20 sessions on 10 consecutive days.
