You will find varying opinions on this. I have seen some people assert that an improvement occurs after a single treatment.

For severe or chronic depression, I should think that the range of treatments necessary for a response is 6 - 10. Be cognisant, though, that the ultra-brief pulse protocol might take longer.

I would not draw any conclusions after 5 treatments.
