- Researchers are testing deep brain stimulation as a treatment for people with a severe form of depression. Doctors compare it to a pacemaker for the brain. It involves implanting electrodes in the brain, which are attached to a device placed under the skin in the chest. #health #mentalhealth #deepbrainstimulation #technology

I already have DBS for a movement disorder and have asked my neurologist team to let me know if/when they learn if it can be done for both as I also have life long treatment resistant depression. I hope that becomes a part of the study.
I have TRD and, I'm in the process of getting a DBS clinical trial procedure setup to have it done. (Hopefully, if they approve me) Nothing else to try as far as other treatment options. Watching a lot of these similar videos, it does seem like it makes a big difference, when nothing else had worked. If I get it done, I'll reply to my comment to let everyone know how it went.
Also, the doctor here explains why it's tough for me (And all others that deal with this) to get better. 1:50 When I went to therapy / counseling and the medication was working, it made a big difference in getting better, and having the therapy work. When I went to therapy (And the medication wasn't working) it made it extremely difficult to process, the things that we'd talk about.
It just feels like what you are being told, won't stay in your brain. (Anyone else relate to that?). Having your brain 'unstuck' makes complete sense to me and, it's been the first time I've heard a doctor really say/understand it! I hope I can get back to that point and, finally be able to get my life sorted out.
anyone know where i can hear this audio?
I already have electrodes implanted for my epilepsy, it would be amazing if they could help my MH too, both go hand and hand anyway.
EMMANUEL APPROVES IT. SEND ME ONE of these. I need one of these
This is why smart psychs treat depression with seizure meds instead of the so-called antidepressants.
can you please explain more about this ?
@@kimyasolhjo1763 look up Lamictal (Lamotrigine). As an example. These drugs stabilize the brain activity to lessen seizures, but at lower doses can help with mood regulation. I take it because I have anxiety with depression. It also corresponded with fewer migraines but not sure if it was a direct cause. I have taken it for 10 years now. I had tried almost all the SSRIs before then. A family member takes a similar drug for ADHD - Oxcarbazapine. But YOU MUST work with a doctor to get the dosage right and never stop taking them abruptly. That can actually cause a seizure in people who don't naturally have that disorder.
@@kimyasolhjo1763 I guess I cannot because they won't post my reply with full explanation. Research , off label uses of antispasmodics (antiseizure)
I know so many people trying different techniques and technology for anxiety and depression, but few are "cured" and the side effects of the treatments are rough. Mindfulness helped me, along with other stuff. Books like 30 Days to Reduce Depression by Harper Daniels and the Tao Te Ching helped me accept the depression as is, instead of fighting it.
I don’t think you are understanding the difference between depression and treatment refractory major depressive disorder. One is a mental health issue that is easily treatable and the other is an illness that can be explained using neurology.
ITS NOT WHATS EATING YOU< ITS WHAT YOU ARE EATING.
Probably but just maybe the fact that it’s eating you make you eat.
I think it's natural to have depression with a tough upbringing of loss and pain and trauma. You have to deal with it, not remove it; that's life.
watch the whole video first before making a comment
I feel the same way. The hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
@@llllldrijcsujhddghjkclllllllll But your personal courage and endurance show true character, and your life will always be better for it; if only to show others that tough lives can be overcome. Bless you!
Depression is an illness 😅 not a life flow process, illness needs to be treated or otherwise your life quality will be greatly affected.
@@kid-joker6650 Says the troll who thinks it's some joke...what a laugh indeed, you don't know anything and CLEARLY need all sorts of help so GET IT and GET OFF OF YT.
