I recognize that DBS is pretty much a treatment of last resort. For people who have not found relief with countless medication trials and other treatments (e.g., counseling, ETC, TMS, etc.)
In my experience with Psycho-Babble, there seem to be quite a few of us. Myself included.
DBS is FDA-approved for Parkinson's disease but not yet for depression. Clinical trials are underway. Some depressed patients have been treated. I was wondering if there are any on this forum. Perhaps not. Yet.
Having been through over a dozen thorough trials of different p-meds, endless psychotherapy and scores of ECT treatments, I'd probably be a good candidate.
Anybody with additional information of the subject of deep brain stimulation is welcome to chime in. Thanks.
