Hey,
I really wonder whether there is a subtype of depression that responds better to DBS.. In the one DBS study, it appeared that melancholic subtype responded... It also seems that theres a structural and functional difference between unipolar and bipolar depressives... I'm concerned that, because of my antidepressant-induced manias, my brain will be of the bipolar type.. I hope they will take an MRI first to determine this (if this is even possible)...
