> Ive tried so many different treatments over the past 10 years, from SSRIs to ECT. I contacted a Clinical Trial in Texas using DBS for Treatment Resistant Depression. Felt quite excited about it. This trial uses a new technique that targets different areas of the brain if one area doesnt help. I did my interview for it on the phone this morning. The lady said based on the interview Id be a good candidate for their trial, then said my name would be added to their list of applicants, and that I may or may not get a call by early next year :O
> The Trial is only recruiting a total of 12 people.

> DBS isnt FDA Approved for Depression. But Im out of other options. Ive tried so many treatments, approved and off-label. Im out of ideas. Ive thought of begging and pleading with the folks running the Clinical Trial, but Im sure thatll only get nowhere.... lol...
> Does anyone on Psychobabble have any ideas on how I can get DBS for my Depression, ASAP?
