While TMS should be a last resort thing, what’s actually seems to be happening (anecdotally at least) is it gets prescribed like candy - just like opioids and antidepressants.
I had a pretty rough time during the pandemic and reached out to a couple clinics for maybe trying psychotherapy, and after a single 30 minutes consultation, both concluded I should try TMS first, because “it just works”. One of them literally added me to a marketing mailing and kept spamming me about it.
So yea, maybe it’s highly regulated outside the US?
