1. A method for treating neurological conditions, comprising:
applying accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) to a target brain structure using a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device in order to treat a neurological condition, wherein the TMS device is controlled using a processor configured by an application stored in a memory;
wherein the aiTBS comprises:
a plurality of sessions on a given day;
wherein during each session in the plurality of sessions, the TMS device is controlled by the processor to apply magnetic neurostimulation comprising a plurality of pulse trains separated by an intertrain interval; and
wherein each session in the plurality of sessions is separated by an intersession interval lasting between 25 and 120 minutes during which the TMS device is controlled by the processor to provide no magnetic neurostimulation.
