Thanks for the update. I am sure they will open up the criteria in the future. They just can't taint their study that's all.
Do you have a lot of hypomanic episodes? I wonder if the device would have to be tweaked if you were having one. I wonder if you can still take meds if you have this device?
At least you got in and they have your name etc. You are one step ahead of me!

> Hi,
> I had a consultation with the DBS head pdoc and a research coordinator two weeks ago. It seems that I was diagnosed with a bipolar spectrum disorder. Because of this bipolarity, they were unsure of my inclusion into the DBS study. They are apparently utilizing DBS with unipolar depressives at the moment. However, they may open up the criteria in the future. So, the search continues........
