Neuropsychiatric illnesses are often associated with either increased or decreased activity in the various regions of the brain. rTMS has the ability to selectively decrease or increase regional cortical activity, thus returning the over or under excited region of the brain to normal functioning levels.

In addition, neuropsychiatric illnesses are often associated with changes in neurotransmitter and neuroendocrine systems, both of which rTMS can alter. The ability of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation therapy to alter brain functioning provides a limitless potential to work as an effective therapy option for any disorder involving dysfunctional behaviour in the neural circuits. Throughout the world, numerous research initiatives  are ongoing to ensure the full extent of positive benefits from rTMS therapy become a reality. The full potential of benefits from rTMS has yet to be discovered.
