I suppose it depends on the location, the size etc.
I remember watching a documentary on SST. One guy had it, and it didn't work, but then a second operation to make the holes larger worked well, and he needed no medication. He didn't report much adverse affect nor did his wife. He had been clinically depressed for 15+ years.
He basically reported that the intensity of his negativity was greatly diminished, ie less depth to it.
I don't think SST directly targets the amygdala, but connections between amydgala and hippocampus or something.
But you're right, there are no guarentees!!
