Loss in sense of smell and taste is a condition that can occur without an organic pathology and it is noteworthy in patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Few studies have shown that Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (tTMS) can correct losses in sense of smell and taste. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of tTMS treatment applied to patients diagnosed with MDD on the sense of smell and taste in this patient group.
