Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) are established treatments for MDD, yet the impact of comorbid GAD and concomitant medications remains unclear. This study aimed to compare rTMS\/iTBS treatment outcomes between patients with MDD with and without comorbid GAD, and to examine the association between concomitant psychotropic medication use, stimulation protocol, and treatment response in a real-world clinical setting. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational analysis using registry data from 108 patients (MDD + GAD: n = 36; MDD only: n = 72). Patients received either Left-iTBS or Right-rTMS. Baseline severity, percentage change in Montgomery\u2013\u00c5sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) scores, response, and remission were assessed. Logistic and linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, and baseline severity were applied. Sensitivity analyses stratified by stimulation protocol and benzodiazepine (BDZ) use were performed. Results: Baseline severity did not differ between groups. MADRS reduction was numerically lower in the comorbid GAD group (48.3% vs. 52.7%, p = 0.09), whereas HAMD-17 reduction was comparable. Response and remission rates did not differ significantly. Medication use and stimulation protocol did not show statistically significant independent associations with outcomes. Sensitivity analyses confirmed equivalent outcomes between Left-iTBS and Right-rTMS. BDZ users showed a non-significant trend toward lower MADRS improvement and remission. Conclusions: rTMS\/iTBS produced substantial clinical improvement and was well tolerated in both patients with MDD and those with MDD comorbid with GAD. Although comorbid anxiety showed a modest tendency to attenuate MADRS score reduction, overall response and remission rates were comparable between groups. Neither concomitant medications nor stimulation protocol significantly affected treatment outcomes, while the potential influence of BDZ exposure warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm16020068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]],"date-time":"2026-01-30T13:04:46Z","timestamp":1769778286000},"page":"68","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Comorbid Generalized Anxiety Disorder on rTMS\/iTBS Clinical Outcomes in Major Depression: A Multicenter Registry-Based Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2155-0357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Noda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, International University of Health and Welfare, Mita Hospital, Tokyo 108-8329, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryota","family":"Osawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Yokohama TMS Clinic, Minato-Tokyo Branch, Tokyo 108-0023, Japan"},{"name":"Tokyo Yokohama TMS Clinic, Kosugi-Kanagawa Branch, Kawasaki 211-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuya","family":"Takeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Yokohama TMS Clinic, Kosugi-Kanagawa Branch, Kawasaki 211-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keiko","family":"Fujita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Yokohama TMS Clinic, Minato-Tokyo Branch, Tokyo 108-0023, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takumi","family":"Tsuji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Yokohama TMS Clinic, Kosugi-Kanagawa Branch, Kawasaki 211-0063, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryosuke","family":"Kitahata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shinjuku-Yoyogi Mental Lab Clinic, Tokyo 151-0051, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43390","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.21r14328","article-title":"Impact of Major Depressive Disorder on Comorbidities: A Systematic Literature Review","volume":"83","author":"Arnaud","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
