Unfortunately though the most prominent treatments don't always work. Not to worry though, for those people with a particularly resistant form of depression there is some help, particularly in the form of Deep Brain Stimulation. Below you can see Dr. Richard Bittar explain just how this procedure is undertaken.
Can you imagine having wires going through your body in order to regulate how your mood fluctuates, it almost seems like this should only be possible in science fiction movies. Well my friends we have caught up with those movies and we are making many things possible that were once only dreams. Let's see where this fairly new treatment ends up going.
I thought this topic was so interesting when I read about it! It is crazy to have wires running through your body in order to fluctuate your mood. I can’t necessarily relate but I’m sure that depression is a terrible syndrome. I can’t imagine how hard it must be for someone suffering from this to go through life. Sometimes they can’t even get out of bed in the morning, or go to work, or even get up period. This process seems so great and I hope in the future it goes way beyond what it is right now. Even if it is a surgical technique, and those don’t always end up perfect, it seems like a great way to help you fluctuate your mood. Therefore this helps with depression. It kind of reminds me of a robot, you just have to switch a button to avoid feeling depressed.
