> Remember -- psychosurgery is brain surgery. Typically doctors will refuse to operate unless the patient has failed several lengthy attempts at medication (at the full dosage) and many months of intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy. Psychosurgery should be considered as a last resort -- but it should be considered as an option if nothing else is working.

Psychosurgery is only performed with the patient's informed consent.I understand that is very dangerous, but there are times that I want to kill myself, I have even decided the place to commit the suicide, so sometimes, I have two options:
Try that my psychiatrist referral me to psychosurgery (And I know that it is very difficult that the psychiatrist first and the psychosurgeon accepts to do it), or commit suicide.lukeds.
