Well, I don't think anyone knows yet. One of the things we found out was that the TMS restored the diurnal variation in cortisol (highest in AM, lowest in the evening). Before treatment, mine was staying high all day. Also, about 50% of people with normal cortisol levels who are dexamethasone non-suppressors become suppressors after treatment.
And there are actions unrelated to cortisol- brain blood flow, cell growth in the hippocampus, higher BDNF levels.
