We have the show recorded and were watching that part tonight. A woman had tried every treatment there was and was institutionalized as so suicidal for over a year then they did the DBS and she was able to go home and be a Mother to her kids. Sounds very good to me. All meds had failed her. The program mentioned a place in the brain called 25 and showed that is was toned down after a depressive episode different segment and the frontal lobe lit up. See if your cable or a friends may be showing the program again it's excellent gives hope where none was before. Also said ECT was now 80% effective for eliminating depression and after stay on meds. Excellent show. Love Phillipa
