Does anyone know of a website or a resource listing where rTMS is available? I can't seem to find anything just googling. Many thanks.

Hi Aphrodite,
You can turn up a bunch of sites by googling on two words:
TMS depression
Here are some of the first hits:
http://www.psycom.net/depression.central.transcranial.html
http://www.centerfortms.com/Advanced-New-Treatment-for-Depression.cfm
http://depression.about.com/od/tms/Transcranial_Magnetic_Stimulation.htm
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20000923/bob10.asp
From what little I've heard and read, the treatments are outrageously expensive. Your best bet if you really want to try it might be to get into a clinical trial of some sort.
Of course I could be wrong!

You can get it at the Mindcare Centres in Vancouver and Toronto. Prices 3 years ago were U.S. $200 a treatment ($4000 plus hotel, transportation, food etc for 2 treatments a day for 2 weeks). When I was there (no, it didn't work) it seemed like just about everybody I talked to had been refused admittance to a study, studies are extremely picky about who they'll accept. Cecilia
