For some patients, a treatment that does exactly induce a seizure (i.e. ECT) is what they need. Of course, because of the risk of harm, it's still reserved as something of a last resort and only for particularly severe cases.

I'm pretty sure rTMS has nowhere near the same risk profile, even in the reported cases where seizure did occur.

> do research and be extremely wary of anything hyped

I would offer the same advice for anything that is hyped against with scare tactics, if not just, more broadly, any proposed medical treatment.
