John Campbell has depression. Diagnosed in 2011, the 58-year-old motor mechanic has been unable to work for two-and-a-half years.

Magnetic brain stimulation can help treat drug-resistant depression, study finds 1467989366919

Next month he'll return to the workplace, following successful treatment as part of a clinical trial into a non-invasive form of brain stimulation known as transcranial magnetic stimulation.

According to the results of a new study, the once-controversial method of beaming magnetic fields into the frontal areas of the brain saw one third of the 1132 patients with severe depression go into remission.

Mr Campbell admits he was apprehensive about TMS initially but decided to go ahead with the trial because he wanted relief from the same debilitating condition that had dogged his father and stolen his brother at age 45.

Over the years, Mr Campbell had tried psychologists, psychiatrists and a range of medications. But none of these approaches addressed the deep-rooted emotions he said were always there.
