To the Editor Arecent study1 assessed whether handed-ness has an effect on clinical response to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in major depressive disorder (MDD)(n= 310). The authors found that left-handed patients with MDD (n= 23) responded to a greater degree than righthanded patients to rTMS particularly with high-frequency left-sided treatment. Despite the limitations pertaining to the retrospective nature of their study and the limited data on handedness, such as not using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory, 2 the authors concluded that conventional rTMS treatment seems to be effective in patients with MDD who are left-handed and therefore, modifying the laterality of treatment application in these patients is not justified. Nonetheless, they advocated that future trials investigate this question to further confirm their conclusion. This is important because no research has been performed on whether all left-handed subjects respond in the same way as right-handed subjects. Handedness and cerebral lateralization of emotion in leftversus right-handed individuals might be relevant to depression according to imaging and electrophysiological studies, and hemispheric variation in the pathophysiology of MDD may influence clinical response to rTMS treatment. 3I describe the case of a 39-year-old left-handed (score on the Edinburgh inventory of− 100, ie, full left-handed) woman suffering from recurrent major depressive disorder since preadolescence and borderline personality disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, 4 with a 2-year history of a severe major depressive episode resistant to vortioxetine 10 mg/d and fluoxetine 40 mg/d. She endorsed a depressive andanxious mood, suicidal thoughts, anhedonia, fatigue, hopelessness, hypersomnia, and hyperphagia, and poor concentration. She had a family history of depression. The patient is a filmmaker with no history of other psychiatric, major medical problems or of substance abuse or dependence; she had no history of sexual or physical abuse. Detailed medical and neurological assessments did not reveal any contraindications to rTMS. Throughout the entire rTMS treatment period, the patient was continued on the same doses of the antidepressants she had been taking. After the patient signed an informed consent, she underwent 3 sessions of 10 Hz rTMS with a MagPro R30 magnetic stimulator (Mag-Venture, Farum, Denmark) with a liquid-cooled figure-eight 70-mm coil to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex but within a few days she complained of worsening depression, anxiety and fatigue, and she had the same reaction within four sessions of 1 Hz rTMS to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Because she was lefthanded, I decided to reverse the stimulus parameters and treated her with 1 Hz rTMS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. She initially scored 30 on the Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale5 but after 7 weeks of daily rTMS treatments, her Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale score was 6 (remission). She then underwent maintenance rTMS, and her remission has been sustained for more than 6 months. She had no side effect associated with rTMS. This case illustrates the need to treat with caution patients who are left-handed and consider reversed parameters for patients particularly who are
