> Eh, not to rain on your parade or anything but you do know they open your skull and place electrodes on your brain for this right? It just seems a little invasive or extreme to me. Sort of like right next to a lobotomy. Of course if you go through with this, good luck!

> SadDoggieHi,
Yes it is very evasive... but i understand the surgery itself is benign as they just place the electrodes in, they dont alter any of the tissue.. plus, the treatment has the advantage of being precise, relatively free of adverse effects and potentially very powerful... but i can only hope for the best..
