[QUOTE="buddy, post: 468984, member: 12886"] I was watching the news and saw this Dr. talking about how this therapy activates areas of the brain that are sluggish in people with depression. Just was interesting so I googled it. I had depression when I was younger (grad school days, probably before too). It really runs in my family and my sister and niece have it right now. I also have a friend who has a VNS implanted to help her depression. I took her to the hospital. many times when she was suicidal. None of that now. She says she has never felt like this, it has been 2 or 3 years now.
