3 and a half years ago I entered a deep brain stimulation (DBS) protocol to cope with my treatment-resistant depression. First used for Parkinson's desease DBS is now used for obssesive-compulsive disorder and major depression.
I would like to share my experience with other DBS patients. I'd be delighted to help persons considering this treatment. |

My insurance won't touch it even though it's been around since the 1980's. Haven't read too many success stories either

DBS really changed my life.
After the surgery, it took a little more than a year for my psychiatrist to find the right settings. But since 18 months I am really feeling fine. I am currently looking for a new job after long years of inactivity. Before that I was hospitalized more than twenty times. I tested nearly all medications available in France. I had 18 ECT. Nothing worked fine for me and I was hopeless. Until my psychiatrist proposed me for the first french protocole for treatment-resistant depression. I will be pleased to answer specific questions if any. |

So you didn't have to pay anything? Here in the US my insurance won't cover a penny of it. So frustrating knowing something is out there that might help & I can't access it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
