Yes - but I also think we tend to discount the value of the work we do during those years. Both PhDs and postdocs are basically just jobs producing economic value! If anything PhD's are a hyper-efficient use of resources as skilled workers produce public goods for very low pay.

No, but given the responses to this post I guess I should!

Generally, NIBS + antidepressants can have better outcomes than just NIBS or antidepressants alone. But it isn't always the case. There's a recent review on this here:

Antidepressant class and concurrent rTMS outcomes in major depressive disorder: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The combination of rTMS with SSRIs, but not SNRIs, significantly reduced depression severity, increasing response and remission rates. Some analyses demonstrated high heterogeneity, which was influenced by an SSRI trial with a high effect size. Overall, these results suggest that not all antidepressant combination therapies are alike, and SSRIs should be considered when initiating rTMS.

All great questions!
Magnetic stimulation (TMS) is typically used over a 4-6 week period for less than an hour per day but a recent protocol shows good efficacy over 5 days with many sessions per day (all in the clinic). tDCS is roughly 20 mins per day for 6 weeks at home.
