Deep brain stimulation, Vagus nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation, acupuncture
all of these technologies are available to you, and you can always decide to take out your cingulate at a later date.
DEFINITELY think about ECT, I know one guy who had partial remission of devastating depression, and the remission lasted 3 years (he got a lot of work done, but now he's sick again) At least he can go back in for more ECT treatment.
best of luck to you,
remember that depression can affect your decision-making abilities. Things might not be as desperate as they feel. Finally, I'm really sorry you're hurting, and you feel like there's so little hope. I know that in the end you and your doctors will try your best to get you back on track to feeling well.Take good care,
