how possible is it to have DBS done

Posted by poser938 on January 10, 2012, at 0:40:42

since it isnt approved by the FDA for depression, how possible is it for someone to have this therapy?
im about to be having rTMS done, and am hoping it works for me.. but i like to pan ahead just in case it doesnt work for me. medication isnt really an option for me anymore because because 90% of the time when i take a med and it ha its effect on me, whether bad or good, it is permanent. my brain doesnt see the need to go back to normal after stopping a med.. and it has truly ruined my life. but like i said, if rTMS doesnt work for me, is it next to impossible to have DBS done? do you just have to be lucky to participate in a trial for it? i am very suicidal and just need something to help me feel better.
