1.Primary Outcome
Title Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES)
Hide Description The apathy evaluation scale is a 14-item self-report questionaire that provides a quantitative estimate of apathy symptoms. Items are given a score of 0-3, and a total score is summated using all items. Scores may range between 0 and 42. Higher scores are indicative of greater symptoms of apathy, and a score of 14 is suggestive of clinically significant symptoms.

Participants in this group were assessed before sham treatment.
Participants in this group received rTMS treatment and were assessed approximately 10 days after tx began.

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Lille Apathy Rating Scale (LARS)
Hide Description The Lille Apathy Rating Scale (LARS) is a 33-item interviewer administered structured questionaire designed to assess level of apathetic symptoms. The first 3 items are scored from -2 to +2, while the remainder items are scored from -1 to +1. Scores can range between -36 to +36. The more positive the score, the greater level of apathy symptoms.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II)
Hide Description The Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-II) is a 21-item self-report questionaire that measures depressive symptoms. Each item is scored on a scale of 0-3, and items are summated to yield a total score. A higher score is indicative of greater symptoms of depression. Total scores may range between 0 and 63. A score greater than or equal of 14 is suggestive of clinically significant symptoms.

4.Secondary Outcome
Title Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D)
Hide Description The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) is a 24-item interviewer administered structure questionaire designed to assess symptoms of depression. Items are scored with a range of 0-4, though 11 of the items are scored between 0 and 2. A total score is then calculated of all items which can range from 0 to 74. A higher score is indicative of more depressive symptoms, and a lower score post-tx is indicative of better outcome.
