Brief Summary: This 12-week study will evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS of the brain followed by citalopram Celexa for treatment of depression associated with small vascular lesions in the brain vascular depression
Detailed Description: Vascular depression is a condition that typically affects the elderly and is associated with small vascular lesions It is more resistant to treatment and has a poorer outcome than nonvascular depression By altering excitability in the cortical area of the brain rTMS may be an effective treatment neuropsychiatric conditions particularly depression

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to 15 treatments of either rTMS or sham rTMS for 3 weeks Following treatment participants will receive citalopram for 9 weeks Response rates to treatment relapse rates the size number and location of the vascular lesions and the amount of regional brain atrophy will be measured Improvements in activities of daily living quality of life and cognitive function will also be also measured
