a friend of mine had it done and it changed everything for him, for the better. It would be something i'd be scared to do but i'm not in your shoes. Do your homework and trust your gut. i'm not in your shoes so i can't say... i do suffer from bipolar disorder and the depressions get pretty bad. i do get dangerously suicidal. But i have to say that the long depressions were worse IMO. Give me intensity any day.
Can you go see the facility first? talk to staff? maybe ask to talk to anyone who has gone through it?
